Lemon Chicken: It's a doddle, in fact it couldn't be easier. The recipe calls for sweet potatoes, but I prefer the bog standard. Just wash peel and dry them. pre-cook them for five minutes in the microwave.
Prepare a whole chicken, or, if you prefer, four whole chicken legs, by pre-cooking them in a pan with garlic and onions. Once partially cooked, put the chicken in a roasting dish with the potatoes. Slice up a lemon and place all the slices over the chicken. Add the stock from the pan, with a few aromatic herbs. If you can't be arsed with the lemon, just use a lemon juicer and simply squeeze a good slosh of juice over the chicken. Place in the oven at a seriously high heat for about half an hour. Serve and enjoy. Goes down a treat with a good French white wine, or, if you prefer, a seriously cold german lager beer.
