- Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Mix the chicken and garlic with 1 tbsp oil in a shallow roasting tin, then poke around a few bay leaves. Sprinkle ½ tsp black pepper and ½ tsp sea salt over the chicken pieces and roast for 30 mins. After 30 mins, fish out the garlic, increase the oven temperature to 220C/200C fan/gas 7 and roast the chicken for 15-20 mins more until golden, crispy and cooked through.
- While the chicken is cooking, pulse the olives in a food processor to roughly chop, then scrape into a serving bowl. Add the flat-leaf parsley, chillies, orange zest, orange juice, lemon juice, remaining olive oil and some seasoning. Set aside at room temperature until ready to serve.
- Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins and mash with a fork. About 10 mins before you want to serve, heat the mash in a pan or microwave - 3 packs will take about 8-10 mins on High. When hot, empty into a serving dish, stir in the mashed garlic and serve with the roast chicken, olive salsa and some salad leaves, dressed with the juice of the remaining half lemon.
