Ingredients

1 medium size Bannockburn Free Range chicken
1 lemon

spring onion
chilli
olive oil
salt

Rub olive oil into the chicken and season with salt and pepper

Roughly cut the spring onion and garlic and half a lemon and spread over the chicken, then add finely cut chilli as desired.

Squeeze the juice of the remaining lemon over the chicken.

Lay chicken skin down on baking paper and place on a tray in the oven un-covered for 45mins to 1 hour. (Alternatively this can be done on the plate of your BBQ)
