Chicken tapenade
Serves 4
- 1 small lemon, cut into wedges
- handful of thyme
- 1 large yard chicken
- 125 ml (½ cup) olive tapenade
- olive oil (to sprinkle)
- Salt and ground black pepper
Preheat the oven to 200 ° C.
1 Put the lemon wedges and thyme in the cavity of the chicken. Lift the skin on the breast side. Be careful, wiggle your fingers between the skin and the meat (there is a natural gap). Fill it with the tapenade, but be careful not to tear the skin. Spread it as far as possible under the skin by pushing it forward with your fingers.
2 Place the chicken in a deep roasting pan, sprinkle oil over and season to taste. Bake for an hour to 1 hour 20 minutes or until cooked and golden brown.
3 Serve with the roasted pepper, ciabatta garlic bread and salad.

– The chicken tastes just as good if you fill the gap under the skin with red pepper pesto.
