Pour the juices from the baking tray into a small saucepan and add the soy, garlic and sweet chilli sauce, squeeze out the insides of the roasted lemons too. Boil for a few minutes to reduce the sauce slightly, then add the juice from the remaining half a lemon. Serve alongside the chicken and some rice, you can drizzle with the sauce as you serve it.
