Ingredients:
4 chicken thighs, or 2 chicken breasts
juice of 1 lemon
1 garlic clove, crushed
2 tsp fresh thyme leaves
1/2 tsp finely chopped fresh rosemary
4 tbsp olive oil
finely grated zest of 1 lemon
Instructions:
1. Mix the lemon juice, garlic, herbs, 2tbsp of the oil and a little salt and pepper in a shallow non-metallic bowl. Marinade the chicken pieces for at least an hour.
2. Preheat the grill to moderate. Grill the chicken pieces, skin side down, for 10 minutes. Then turn over. Brush with any remaining marinade and grill until cooked through (another 8-10minutes).
3. Alternatively, roast the chicken in an oven at 190°c (375°f) for about 30 minutes. Tuck the squeezed lemon halves into the roasting tin for added flavour.
4. Transfer to warm serving plates and spoon any pan juices over. Garnish with lemon zest.
Tips: Replace the thyme and rosemary with a handful of torn basil, scattered over the chicken 10 minutes before the end of the cooking time.
