Instructions

To prepare and cook the Chicken

Preheat the oven to 180ºC/fan 160ºC/gas 4.

Arrange the chicken portions and onion wedges in a gratin dish.

Whisk together the oregano, paprika, lemon juice and zest, olive oil and sugar.

Pour this over the chicken and onion wedges. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Sprinkle over the sprigs of rosemary.

Pour in the chicken stock and place lemon slices randomly on top.

Roast in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes before adding the olives, baste the chicken from time to time.
