Directions
- 1
Peel and crush the garlic clove using a knife or garlic press. Finely slice the onion and chop the flat-leaf parsley.
- 2
In a bowl, combine the olive oil and lemon juice. Add the salt, rosemary, oregano and black pepper. Whisk vigorously with a fork for about a minute until you get a light, even emulsion.
- 3
Stir in the crushed garlic, sliced onion and chopped parsley. Mix well so all the aromatics are evenly distributed throughout the marinade.
- 4
Generously coat 1 kg of chicken — pieces or whole — with the marinade, making sure every surface is well covered. Wrap with cling film and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, ideally overnight for deeper, more developed flavors.
💡 Chef's Tip
For even bolder flavor, score the chicken flesh with a knife before applying the marinade — the aromatics will penetrate much deeper. The marinade keeps for up to 3 days in the fridge in a sealed jar.
