Add the sliced garlic, olive oil and lemon juice. Toss well until every piece is evenly coated.
- 3
Arrange the chicken in a single layer in a non-stick baking dish.
- 4
Roast for 35–40 minutes, turning the pieces every 10 minutes so the garlic toasts without burning.

💡 Chef's Tip
For deeper flavour, marinate the chicken in the garlic, olive oil and lemon mixture for 30 minutes in the fridge before roasting.
