Lemon and rosemary chicken

Ingredients for 4 servings:

• 1 large chicken
• 3 garlic cloves
• 4 lemons, untreated
• 5 tbsp olive oil
• Black pepper, freshly ground
• Salt
• 3 sprigs rosemary

Instructions

Working time approx. 10 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 1 hour 20 minutes; Total time approx. 1 hour 30 minutes

Preheat oven to 200°C. Carve the chicken. Peel the garlic and slice it thinly. Squeeze 3 lemons and reserve the juice. Wash 1 lemon thoroughly and slice it thinly, including the peel. Season the chicken pieces with salt. Grease a deep baking tray with a little oil and arrange some of the lemon slices on it. Place the chicken pieces on the lemon slices, mix the lemon juice with the olive oil and drizzle over the meat, then season with pepper. Arrange the rosemary sprigs, the remaining lemon slices, and garlic on top. Cover with aluminum foil and bake in the oven for 45 minutes. Then remove the aluminum foil and cook for another 30-40 minutes until browned. Baguette or ciabatta bread goes well with it.
