Don't forget to baste the chicken with the drippings and rotate the pan every 20 minutes or so to insure a golden crispy skin. The chicken is done when an instant-read thermometer says 165 degrees F when inserted into the thickest part of the thigh (the legs of the chicken should wiggle easily from the sockets too.) Remove the chicken to a platter and let stand for 10 minutes, so the juices settle back into the meat before carving. Serve with the roasted potatoes on the side.

LEMON ROAST CHICKEN AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to 180*C/350*F.
• Halve the potatoes lengthwise and then cut them into three or four wedges, so that they look like chips. I used Charlotte fingerling potatoes and they were perfect, cut into quarters.
• Throw these into a shallow roaster along with the onion wedges and the chicken.
• Mix together the mustard, lemon juice, oregano (or thyme) and olive oil to make a marinade.
• Pour over the chicken, potatoes and onions. Add the bay leaves and garlic.
• Season with salt and pepper (remembering the inside of the chicken as well as the outside)
• Rub the marinade in all over the surface of the chicken and shuffling the potatoes and onions around so that they are well coated.
• Put the reserved lemon halves inside the chicken.
• Gently pour a cup of warm water into the pan, being careful not to wash any of the marinade off of the chicken or potatoes.
• Roast for one hour. At this point the chicken should be starting to brown.
• Pour the wine over the top and turn the potatoes and onions.
• Roast for another hour, turning the chicken when it is well browned on top. Check that the potatoes are still in a little liquid, you don't want them to go dry. If they seem a bit dry add a little more hot water.
• When it is done the chicken will be golden brown and juicy and cooked through and the potatoes will be meltingly tender, with a few crisp edges. There should be a little sauce left in the roaster to serve spooned over the chicken and potatoes, but if there isn't just add a bit of hot water to the dish and scrape up the tasty bits from the bottom to make more sauce.
• Serve to a very lucky family that will be scrambling for more! If this doesn't soon become your favourite way to roast chicken I'll be a monkey's uncle!

LEMONY CHICKEN WITH POTATOES AND OREGANO

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees and, if you like, line a sheet pan with parchment paper (not essential but helpful for cleaning up).
• Trim the ends off 1 lemon, then cut the lemon in half crosswise.Thinly slice one half of the lemon into rounds, then cut the rounds into quarters, creating small triangles. Shake out the seeds then place the lemon quarters into a large bowl. Save the remaining lemon half for serving. Cut the remaining whole lemon into wedges, for serving.
• Add chicken and potatoes to the large bowl with the lemon quarters. Add the oregano, salt and pepper; toss well. (Your hands are the best tools here.) Drizzle in the oil and toss again.
• Arrange chicken thighs skin side up on one half of the prepared sheet pan, and potatoes and lemons on the other, spreading the potatoes out into one layer. Roast for 20 minutes. Using a long-handled spoon, stir the potatoes, then spread them out again in one layer. (You don't have to touch the chicken.) Continue roasting until chicken and potatoes are cooked through and everything is golden and crisped, another 15 to 20 minutes (40 to 45 minutes total roasting time).
• To serve, squeeze the juice from the lemon half all over chicken and potatoes and give everything a good stir to incorporate all the tasty juices and browned bits at the bottom of the pan. Sprinkle with more oregano and salt, and serve with additional lemon wedges and condiments on the side.
