- 4 free-range or organic chicken marylands (drumstick and thigh) pieces
- Olive oil
- Salt & pepper
- Preheat the oven to 200C (180C fan forced).
- Place an oven proof rack over an oven dish or baking tray.
- Assess your chicken pieces. If there are extremely obviously pieces of fat hanging off the chicken I will sometimes remove them, but if you cannot be bothered the fat will render out in the heat of the oven.
- Rub the chicken pieces with olive oil. Make sure you get the underside as well.
- Liberally season your chicken with salt & pepper, on both the top and bottom.
- Position the chicken pieces on the rack so they are not touching and then place the rack in the oven.
- Cook for 45 minutes to one hour, until the chicken is well browned, the juices run clear and the meat has started to pull away from the bone.
- Remove from the oven.
- If serving immediately, allow to rest for 5 minutes in a warm place whilst you assemble the remainder of the meal.
- Otherwise allow to cool and use as required.
