• 1 teaspoon olive oil

Method

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/gas 4.

2. 2

   Scrub the potatoes, slice just under ½ cm thick, and place in a roasting tray with the chicken.

3. 3

   Add olive oil and a pinch of sea salt and black pepper.

4. 4

   Lightly squash and add the unpeeled garlic cloves, toss well, then arrange the potatoes in an even layer.

5. 5

   Sit the chicken legs directly on the bars of the oven, skin side up, with the tray of potatoes directly underneath.

6. 6

   Bake for 40 minutes.

7. 7

   When the time's up, mix up the potatoes in the tasty tray juices, then sit the chicken on top.

8. 8

   Strip the rosemary leaves off the sprigs, use a speed-peeler to peel strips of lemon zest, then toss both in olive oil and sprinkle into the tray.

9. 9

   Squeeze over half the lemon juice, then return to the oven for a final 10 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and super-golden.
