Ingredients

1tbsp olive oil

Juice and zest 1 lemon

1tsp dried sage

1tsp dried oregano

3 cloves garlic, crushed

½tsp chilli flakes

8 chicken thighs or 4 legs, skin on, bone in

2 red onions, quartered

1 bulb garlic, separated into cloves, unpeeled

400g butternut squash, peeled and cut into chunks

8 dried apricots

½tsp dried sage

2tbsp olive oil

50g green olives

Fresh flat-leaf parsley (roughly chopped)

Lemon wedges

Thyme (roughly chopped)

Method

1
Mix together the marinade ingredients.
2
Put the chicken pieces in a bowl and season with pepper. Pour the marinade over the chicken – rub it into and under the skin. Leave to marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hr, preferably overnight.
3
Remove the chicken from the fridge 30 mins before cooking. Preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6.
4
Spread the onions, garlic, squash, apricots and sage over the base of a roasting tin. Season with pepper. Drizzle over the olive oil and mix so everything is well coated. Put the chicken on top and drizzle over any remaining marinade.
5
Roast for 45-50 mins until the chicken is cooked through and the veg is tender and slightly charred round the edges. Add the olives for the last 5 mins, just to heat through. Serve sprinkled with the chopped herbs and with the lemon wedges on the side, to squeeze over the chicken.
