Categories: Chicken
Ingredients
- 1.8 kg = 4 lbs chicken or chicken breast
- Juice from 1/2 lemon
- 1/2 glass water
- For the marinade
- 1 red onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 bulb of garlic, smashed
- 1 small bunch of fresh rosemary, leaves picked and finely chopped
- 4 fresh bay leaves
- 4 tbsp white wine vinegar
- 8 tbs olive oil
Directions
- Mix all the marinade ingredients in a large bowl
- Place the chicken in the marinade and rub well
- Cover and leave in the fridge for minimum of 12 hrs
- Preheat oven at 190 C = 375 F
- Remove the chicken from the marinade (chances are the whole marinade is absorbed into the meat if you use chicken breast)
- Place chicken in a roasting tray
- Drizzle lemon juice all over the meat
- Pour water
- Cover with tin foil and roast for 20 to 30 minutes if you use chicken breast (depending on your oven) or 1 hr for whole chicken
- If you use chicken breast you won’t need to barbecue it after roasting. If you choose whole chicken you may need to barbecue until golden and crisp, turning occasionally or you may opt for roasting it for additional 10 to 15 minutes.
