Background

This chilli & lemon baked chicken is perfect for get-togethers, midweek family meals or even for parties and picnics! It's a bit spicy, so serve with some cooling salad or vegetables. In the summer you can barbecue or grill the chicken instead of roasting.

Ingredients

1.5 kg chicken pieces (thighs, drumsticks, wings etc)
2 lemons
1 Tbsp olive oil
1.5 Tbsp dried chilli flakes

Instructions

Squeeze the juice out of one lemon.
In a large (non-metallic) mixing bowl mix the oil, lemon juice and chilli flakes. Add the chicken pieces, coat them well, then marinate for 2-3 hours in the fridge.
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Take the chicken out of the fridge and put them in a roasting dish. Season with salt and pepper, cover the tray with aluminium foil (or put a lid on).
Bake for 35-40 minutes in the oven, then remove the foil/lid and add the other lemon cut in half. Turn the oven to grill setting and grill for a few minutes until the skin is golden and crispy.
Squeeze the juice of the caramelized lemon over the chicken and serve.
