whole roast italian chicken

Introduction

This one dish chicken meal is embarrassingly simple to make, yet looks suitably impressive. You will get a flavourful natural jus in the dish at the end - perfect for mopping up with some crusty bread or crispy roast potatoes.

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Prepare the chicken by rubbing all over with some thyme leaves, ground salt and olive oil.
  2. Squeeze half a lemon into the chicken cavity and place inside along with some sprigs of thyme and a couple of garlic cloves.
  3. Halve the pointed peppers and remove the seeds. Quarter the red onion.
  4. Place the chicken in a large ovenproof dish. Place the remainder of the ingredients around the chicken, and drizzle with olive oil and squeeze over the remainder of the lemon.
  5. Cook in the oven for 1 hour and 20 minutes.
