Roadkill Chicken from the oven

Ingredients for 2 servings:

• 1 corn-fed chicken, approx. 1.4 kg
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp lavender
• 1 tbsp honey
• 1 organic lemon(s), juice and zest
• n. B. Salt

Instructions

Working time approx. 15 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 1 hour; Total time approx. 1 hour 15 minutes

Remove the backbone from the chicken. Season generously all over with salt, wrap in cling film, and return to the refrigerator for a few hours. Then remove and let it come to room temperature. Place the chicken on a baking tray and place it on the middle shelf of a cold oven. Set the oven to 180°C (top/bottom heat) and roast the chicken for about 45 minutes. In the meantime, to make the marinade, mix the juice and zest of the organic lemon with the remaining ingredients. After 45 minutes, remove the chicken, turn on the grill, and brush the chicken with the marinade. Return it to the grill for another 15 minutes. Be careful that the honey in the marinade doesn’t burn and become bitter. It’s best to bake some oven-baked vegetables at the same time.
