Method
1. Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C.2. Slice the onions and place in a roasting tray.
3. Pat the chicken dry with kitchen paper and rub all over with the butter and season inside and out with salt and pepper. Place on top of the onions and squeeze over the juice from the lemons. Put the lemon halves in the cavity of the chicken, along with the bay leaves.
4. Drizzle the chicken with the honey and roast for 1 hr 10 mins, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices from the thickest part of the thigh run clear. If browning too quickly, cover with foil.
5. Once cooked, carve and serve with vegetables of your choice.

Roast chicken is always a family favourite. I had forgotten about the bank holiday. That's what bring retired does for you!
I am glad to hear restrictions are starting to be lifted there. Those who are vaccinated here are able to enter some businesses now without masks now. It feels so freeing!

I always think lemon is a bit underrated with chicken. It's beautiful. I have a recipe in which leeks are cooked gently in lemon juice and that's wonderful too.
Boa noite. Parabéns pelo seu excelente trabalho. Receita maravilhosa.
