Ok, this is not my first time sharing a Honey Lemon Chicken Recipe. It’s normally how I like my chicken to be roasted because the combination of honey and lemon just gives the meat so much flavour and it adds a slightly tangy note too.
What I really wanted to feature this time round is actually my Baby Spinach & Potato Hash Recipe. Just came up with it out of nowhere (experimental cooking again, haha) because I never like repeating the same sides all the time. Well, it turned out delicious!
Rather than serving the conventional boiled potatoes, mashed potatoes or roasted potatoes, give this potato hash recipe a try. Enjoy! 😉

1 chicken griller approx. 1kg

4. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Arrange the rest of the onions and garlic around the roasting pan and drizzle some olive oil over them.
5. Roast the chicken in the middle of the oven for 45 minutes while basting it with the marinade after every 15 minutes.
