This is one of those recipes you can’t make once: that’s to say, after the first time, you’re hooked. It is gloriously easy: you just put everything in the roasting dish and leave it to cook in the oven, pervading the house, at any time of year, with the summer scent of lemon and thyme – and of course mellow, almost honeyed garlic.
I got the idea of it from those long-cooked French chicken casseroles with whole garlic cloves and just wanted to spritz it up with lemon for summer. The wonderful thing about it is that you turn the lemon from being flavouring to being a major player; left in chunks to cook slowly in the oven they seem almost to caramelise and you can eat them, skin, pith and all, their sour bitterness sweetened in the heat.
Serves 4 to 6

Simply scrumptious thanks Nigella you rock
Seriously so easy and prefect for a late Sunday lunch!
OMG I'm totally in amazement at how Nigella can make cooking look like so much fun instead of such a chore.I am now totally obsessed with cooking & am on a mission 2 buy myself some decent kitchen utensils. Even my 16 yr old daughter is keen 2 get into the kitchen. That's gotta be a good thing.Nigella ur the BEST.
I agree, Nigella you are so easy to watch, your recipes well explained and so easy to follow. Well done.

Cant wait to try this one, sound simple and yummy .
I love one pot recipes and it looks delicious, I will be trying it out this week.
I made this for dinner a couple of days ago - it was great. We are having the leftovers tonight with a Greek Salad. Yum.
Another family favourite - it is just an absolute winner.
Ooh will definitely be trying this one!
So easy, so delicious.
Trying this tonight for my son's 22nd b'day will let all know the outcome..Like the idea of oven and leave...has party to attend lol
Just the sort of dish I like - easy to cook and delicious!
DELECIOUS!!!!!! You really are are domestic goddess, your recipes are easy to follow and i've yet to cook one that hasnt come out just as you say!! Simple and down to earth cooking, dont ever change!!!!
Seriously - an absolute stand out. Im eating it right now and have just sent link to five friends. Its so easy (but a while to cook so plan for that) but worth it? Amazing.
What an awesome recipe! I'm never going back to regular roast chicken. Tried it at home and my hubby devoured it asking for more. Yummmmm!
Great ***!
OMG amazing! So easy and so impressive!!!
i dont know how to thank you . not only i but my friends are also great fans of yours. god bless.
I made this on a perfect summer's evening in Berlin. I finished work, came home and chucked the chicken etc in the oven then met some friends at a little bar on the canal to drink some beer and talk some *** while we waited for the chicken to cook. we all came back to my apartment, which was full of yummy smells. I put the potatoes and onions in to roast and set up the newly converted dining room. candles. serviettes. tres civilized. served the chicken from the roasting dish as recommended. While my terribly polite guests praised the meal, i was nothing but disappointed having found it almost boring. Maybe it was because i don't have a baking dish and used a alfoil lined cheese cake tin instead. But creative substitutions aside, i won't be making this again and next time will have a gourmet pizza at the bar.
hay sweet treat may b u went wrong by chucking it in2 the oven without preping it propply maybe if u spent alittle time on it it would of worked well SO DONT BLAME THE RECIPIE 4 UR FAILURE U ONLY GET OUT OF IT WHAT U PUT IN2 IT UNDERSTAND
If you like more of a kick to a taste then try squeezing the lemon juice over the chicken and then leave the chunky lemon pieces in the dish and leave it to cook as per recipe. Ive just cooked this dish and sueezed the lemon only because I love lemon and it tasted delicious. I served it with a good salad and crusty fresh bread chucked in the middle of the table for anyone who wanted to su** up the juices in the pan. Everyone loved it!!! Good luck next time if you decide to give it another go?
Do you need to add a sauce or gravy with this? Is it not too dry on its own?
No sauce needed - with the white wine and juices that come from the chicken you have more than enough.
Cooked this dish last night for friends - the smell was great but taste rather disappointing, I won't do it again.
Hi just wondering can i use a whole chicken instead of cutting into pieces?
Simple n I will try tonight for my wife BirthDay dinner,thank you
I love nearly all Nigella's recipes.This chicken, served with rice is easy and everyone loved it.
Would like to know if this can be done in a slow cooker? Would it come out too soupy or stew like? How long would you cook it and would there be any changes in the recipe?
