Barbecued Lemon and Oregano Chicken Legs with Green Olive and Basil Salad
Serves 4
Prep time 20 minutes
Cooking time 20 minutes

Ingredients

5 cloves of garlic
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 lemons
100ml white wine
1 tsp dried oregano
8 chicken legs and thighs
Salad;
1 tin of artichoke hearts
100g pitted green olives
2 heads little gem lettuce
Small handful of shredded basil
Dressing;
75ml olive oil
25ml white wine vinegar
1 tsp mustard
1 tsp honey
Sea salt and pepper

1. Mix the white wine, garlic, oregano, olive oil and then mince the garlic and also add. Cut the
lemons in half, squeeze in the juice and chuck in the lemon skins as well. Mix then add the chicken
legs. Cover and leave for at least 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 220C or get the BBQ ready.

2. Pour the chicken marinade and the lemon pieces in a roasting tray, season and place in the oven.
If barbecuing, season the legs and thighs and then place on the barbecue, brush with some extra
marinade occasionally. They will take about 30 minutes in the oven (or basically just cook until
golden brown with clear juices). On the barbecue they should take about 20/30 minutes, just make
sure you turn them.

3. While they are cooking make the salad. Drain the artichokes off and pat dry with some kitchen
towel. Then cut in half and add to a large bowl, then cut the olive in half and add. Take the little gem
and trim the base, then break into the natural leaves. Mix together with the olives and artichokes.

4. To make the dressing simply whisk all of the dressing ingredients together, then drizzle to
personal taste over the salad.

5. When the chicken pieces are cooked, pile up on plates with some of the lovely salad on the side.
