1 Label Rouge traditional country chicken
1 lemon
1 onion
50 g butter
1kg baby new potatoes
Preparation:
Pre-heat the oven Th. 7 (210° C).

Decrease the oven temperature to Th.6 (190°C), turn over the chicken and baste with the juices, turn over the potatoes and put back into the oven for 45 minutes, basting regularly (about every 15 minutes). 5 minutes before serving place the chicken on a wooden cutting board and cover with a sheet of aluminum foil, leaving the potatoes in the oven.
Cut up the chicken, place the pieces on a serving dish, arrange the potatoes around them and serve immediately, serving the juices separately in a sauceboat.
