  • Transfer to a roasting tin.
  • Add the onions on a single layer and drizzle over the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and season well. 
  • Roast for 40 minutes, then add the remaining ingredients, season and mix well and roast for a final 15 minutes or until the chicken is crispy and golden on top and the sauce reduced.
