- In a small Bowl, mix all the ingredients for the marinade
- Place the chicken in a bowl and rub in the marinade. Make sure you get under the skin and in the cavity too.
- Stuff the chicken with bay leaves, half a lemon, cloves of garlic and remaining marinade.
- Squeeze half a lemon juice all over the chicken
- Refrigerate for at least two hours
- Roast the red bell peppers over a live flame until the skin is black and crispy
- Set aside and allow them to cool down
- Once cool, remove the skin and slice.
- Preheat the oven to maximum temperature
- Place chicken in the oven and allow it to cook at such a high temperature to seal all of the juices in.
- After 30 minutes, turn the oven temperature down to 180 degrees.
- Pour the remaining marinade in a roasting ray and add some water-by placing the chicken on a rack over this,you will allow the juices to steam and sip into the meat
- While the chicken is cooking, prepare your salad. I like to use these ingredients but you can add any of your choice.
- Add the red bell peppers to your salad, season with salt, pepper, olive oil and white wine vinegar
- Remove chicken from the oven (after about 1 1/2 hours depending on the size)
- Allow it to cool for at least 15 minutes.
- Serve with the salad and enjoy!
