Ingredients

• good quality olive oil
• 4 free-range chicken legs, thighs or drumsticks
• 3 generous tbsp Parmesan, grated
• 8 fresh oregano sprigs
• 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 190˚C/fan 170˚C/gas 5.

2. Put 2-3 tablespoons of oil in a heavy, shallow baking dish. Season the undersides of the chicken pieces, then set each piece on about a teaspoon of Parmesan, a sprig of oregano and a few slices of garlic. Drizzle over a little oil, then scatter the dish with the remaining Parmesan, oregano and garlic. Bake for at least 1 hour, depending on the size of the joints – you should be able to twist the bone and leave the meat in place.

3. Serve with plenty of bread to mop up the delectable gloopy bits in the pan.
