Ingredients

Method
- Preheat oven to 180°C fan-forced (200°C conventional). Put chicken, onion, garlic and lemon into a large roasting tray. Drizzle with oil and scatter herbs and fennel seeds over the top. Use your hands to toss well to coat in oil and herbs. Season.

To make Greek village salad:
Put 3 roughly diced vine-ripened tomatoes, 1 peeled Lebanese cucumber, halved lengthways and coarsely chopped, ½ Spanish onion, thinly sliced, ½ cup Kalamata olives, 80 ml olive oil and 60ml red wine vinegar. Toss well. Serve topped with a 100g piece Greek feta, then sprinkle 1 tsp dried Greek oregano over the top and season.
Cooks tip
Squeeze the juice and flesh from the cooked lemon wedges onto your chicken pieces for extra citrusy zing!
