Cooking Instructions

1. Prepare the Marinade

In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, thyme, salt, pepper, and juice from 1 confited lemon. Mix well.

2. Marinate the Chicken

Add the baby chickens to the marinade, ensuring they are coated well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

3. Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

4. Prepare for Roasting

Place the marinated chickens in a roasting pan. Cut the remaining confited lemon into wedges and scatter around the chickens. Pour the white wine over the chickens.

5. Roast the Chicken

Roast in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the chickens are golden brown and the juices run clear when pierced.

6. Serve

Let the chickens rest for 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm with the roasted lemon wedges.
