Lemon Chicken

Back

Ingredients: * 3 juicy lemons * 50g butter * 3 tbsp clear honey * leaves from 4 rosemary sprigs * 1 garlic clove , finely chopped * 8 chicken pieces, such as thighs and drumsticks, with skin * 750g potatoes , peeled and cut into smallish chunks * green salad , to serve

Method:
1. Preheat the oven to 200C/Gas 6/fan180C. Squeeze the juice from 2 lemons into a small pan and heat with the butter, honey, rosemary, garlic and salt and pepper, until the butter melts and it smells fragrant. 2. Lay the chicken in a roasting tin - don't pile it up or it won't cook so well. Add the potatoes and drizzle with lemon butter to coat evenly. Cut the third lemon into 8 wedges and tuck them in. (Can be made up to 2 hours ahead up to this point.) 3. Roast for 50 minutes - 1 hour until the chicken is cooked and the potatoes are crisp and golden.
Serve with a green salad.
