METHOD
1. Prepare the Marinade:
Squeeze the juice of a fresh lemon into a bowl, infusing the marinade with a zesty kick.
Add minced garlic, a tablespoon of fresh thyme leaves, salt, and the richness of olive oil to the bowl.
Mix the ingredients well, creating a flavourful marinade that will be the key to the chicken’s succulence.
2. Marinate the Chicken:
Place the whole chicken in a dish and generously pour the marinade over it, ensuring every inch is coated with the citrusy and herb-infused goodness.
Allow the chicken to marinate for at least an hour, letting the flavours penetrate the meat. For an extra burst of flavour, you can marinate it for up to 4 hours.
3. Roast to Perfection:
Preheat your oven and roast the marinated chicken until it reaches golden perfection, creating a crispy skin on the outside and locking in the juicy tenderness within.
