Ingredients

  • 1 chicken (pre‑cooked, about 1.5 kg)
  • 4 garlic cloves (chopped)
  • Sea salt
  • 50 g soft butter
  • 1 red pepper (finely chopped without seeds)
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 50 ml lemon juice
  • 200 ml orange juice
  • 100 ml olive oil
  • 20 ml lemon liqueur
  • 1 tbsp parsley (chopped)
  • 1 untreated organic orange (zest included)
  • 50 g black olives
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Cut the chicken into 12 pieces. Mix garlic with about 1 tsp salt, butter and pepper in a bowl. Rub the poultry pieces with this mixture and marinate for about 30 minutes. Then briefly sear them in 1 tbsp hot oil. Roast in a preheated oven at 180°C (convection) for about 40–45 minutes, basting occasionally with the pan juices. Add a little water if needed.

  2. 2.

    Combine the remaining ingredients for the sauce in a bowl and place the browned chicken pieces into it, turning them to coat and letting them absorb some flavor. Taste before serving and serve with crispy white bread as desired.
