Steps

  1. Whisk the marinade, coat the chicken deep into the slashes, and refrigerate 30 minutes or overnight.

  2. Heat the oven to 230°C / 450°F and set the pieces on a rack over a sheet pan.

  3. Roast 25–30 minutes, turning once, until charred at the edges and 74°C / 165°F at the bone.

  4. Rest 5 minutes and serve with raw onion and lemon.

Slashing to the bone lets the marinade season the meat, not just the surface.

Food safety Cook chicken to 74°C / 165°F measured near, not touching, the bone.
