    Method

    Step 1 of 4

    Preheat oven to 200°C or BBQ oven to medium.

    Combine oil, lemon rind and juice, oregano leaves and garlic in a bowl. Pour over prepared chicken. Season with salt and pepper. Stand for 30 minutes if time allows.

    Step 4 of 4

    Roast chicken for 1 hour or until cooked through. Stand for 10 minutes before cutting into serving size pieces. Put chicken pieces onto a platter and drizzle with pan juices. Serve
