This is so
simple. The original recipe called for frying the chicken pieces first; but I
had this as it splutters fat all over the place (and mostly on me). So this is
an oven version, and is delicious.
Ingredients
§ 1 clean chicken, cut in
about 8 pieces
§ Salt and pepper (omit
the salt if the chicken is koshered)
Sauce
§ I clove of garlic,
crushed
§ 1 tsp salt (if it isn’t
a kosher chicken)
§ ½ tsp freshly ground
black pepper
§ 3 Tbsp olive oil
> Juice of 4 lemons
§ 1 onion, either grated
or chopped very small.
Garnish
§ Chopped parsley
§ Lemon wedges

Steps
1.
Combine all the sauce ingredients and let it
stand for as long as possible so that the flavours are well-blended.
2.
Put on the oven to heat up, at 180°C.
3.
Arrange the chicken pieces, in an oven tray skin,-side
down.
4. Spoon the
sauce over the chicken.
5. Place the
chicken in the oven, in the middle of the oven.
6. After 40
minutes, take the pan put of the oven and carefully turn each chicken piece
over, so that the skin is showing.
7. Put the
chicken back in the oven for another 20 minutes. If the sauce seems to be
disappearing, turn the oven down to 170°C.
8. After the chicken has
cooked an hour, it should be a lovely golden brown. Take it out and serve.
9. The sauce is delicious,
so either pour it over the chicken, or serve it as a stand-alone sauce.
10.Garnish the chicken
with the lemon wedges, and sprinkle parsley on top.
