Mix the garlic, lemon and parsley with a tbsp of olive oil. Rub the oil over the chicken crown.

Loosely wrap the whole crown in foil and roast at 190 C for 40 minutes.

Uncover the crown and baste the juices and oil over the chicken. Add more oil if it looks dry. Roast uncovered for 20 minutes basting it every 5 minutes. You may need to cook your chicken more if less depending on its size.

When it’s cooked the chicken will be white and the juices running clear. Serve with the juices basted back over the breasts once they have been taken off the crown.
