Ingredients

1/3 C Olive Oil
2 Lemons Unwaxed
2 cloves Garlic rushed
leaves from a small bunch of Thyme
sea salt and pepper
6-8 Chicken Pieces (skin on)

  1. Remove thin slivers of the rind of the lemons with a vegetable peeler (try to get just the yellow, not the bitter white rind), then juice the lemons.
  2. Put all the ingredients, including the rind, into a non-metallic bowl and whisk to combine (or you can put them straight into a sealable plastic food bag.
  3. Put the chicken pieces into the bowl or plastic bag to marinade (from 1-24 hours).
  4. When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 200°C, bring the chicken to room temperature and tip.
  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes (depending how fat your chicken pieces are).  Make sure the juices run clear when you poke the thickest part of the chicken piece with a skewer.  (If the juices are pink, you need to return the pan to the oven and cook the chicken for longer).
