Pin Recipe Instructions
- Cut the chicken lengthwise down the middle of the back, rinse it well, pat it dry, place it breast-side up on aluminum foil, and press it flat.
- Whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Cut the sage leaves into fine strips and stir them into the marinade with the crushed chilli.
- Brush the chicken all over with the marinade, wrap it in aluminum foil, and refrigerate for 2 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
- Place the chicken on a baking sheet, open the foil packet, and fold the foil back so the marinade drains out.
- Roast for 1 hour 30 minutes until the skin is crispy and the internal temperature reaches 74°C (165°F) in the thickest part of the thigh.
About Editorial Staff
The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
