Garlicky Pot Roast Chicken

Ingredients

• 1000 g Chicken
• 10Bulb Garlic
• 25 g Thyme
• 25 g Parsley
• 500 ml Chicken Stock
• 2 Lemon
• Salt
• Black Pepper
• Olive Oil

Instructions

1. 1

   Heat the oven to 150°C.

2. 2

   Brown off the chicken all over in a large pan that can hold the chicken and has a lid.

3. 3

   Peel all your cloves of garlic (this may take a while!) and pick off your thyme leaves. Pick the leaves off your parsley and set aside for later. Cut one of your lemons into wedges.

4. 4

   Once the chicken is browned all over, place the garlic, thyme and parsley stalks around your chicken. Add your stock, 2 tbsp olive oil and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

5. 5

   Pop the lid on the pan and roast in the oven for an hour.

6. 6

   Turn the oven temperature up to 200°C.

7. 7

   Remove the lid from your dish, then return it to the oven for 20 mins to crisp up the skin.

8. 8

   Squeeze the juice of 1 lemon through the sauce and add some chopped parsley. Carve up and serve with some crusty bread and your remaining lemon wedges.
