Cover and leave in the fridge for minimum of 12 hrs
Remove the chicken from the marinade (chances are the whole marinade is absorbed into the meat if you use chicken breast)
Place chicken in a roasting pan or baking sheet lined with baking paper
Drizzle lemon juice all over the meat
Pour water
Cover with aluminium foil and roast for 20 to 30 minutes if you use chicken breast (depending on your oven) or 1 hr for whole chicken
If you use chicken breast you won't need to barbecue it after roasting. If you choose whole chicken you may need to barbecue until golden and crisp, turning occasionally or you may opt for roasting it for additional 10 to 15 minutes.
Serve while warm, with Florentine potatoes, recipe below and garden salad
Directions for Florentine potatoes:
Clean potatoes well
Cut into small to medium cubes
Toss in a roasting pan with all ingredients
Mix well
Roast in the oven alongside the chicken for about 30-40 minutes, or until lovely and crispy and golden
