📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Thoroughly pat chicken dry all over with paper towel.
2
Combine the oil, minced garlic, parsley, thyme, rosemary, 3 teaspoons salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.

3
Arrange the lemon slices, onion slices and garlic slices in the base of a 12-inch cast-iron skillet (or oven-proof pan). Place the chicken, skin-side down, on top of the lemon/onion slices. Pour over half of the oil/herbs and rub all over the meat. Turn the chicken over (skin-side up) and pour over remaining oil/herb mixture, rubbing the oil into the meat under the skin as well. Pour the wine and lemon juice into the base of the pan.

Season chicken skin with remaining salt. Roast for 45-55, basting half way through cooking time, until juices run clear when chicken thigh is pierced with a skewer.

5
Baste again, then broil for a further ⏱️ 5-10 minutes until golden. Remove the chicken from the oven, cover skillet tightly with foil and allow to stand for ⏱️ 10 minutes before serving, allowing the juices to recirculate through the meat.
6
Cut the chicken into quarters or eighths, sprinkle with a little extra salt and pepper. Serve, drizzled with pan juices and cooked onions/garlic.
