    Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Snip the string or elastic off the chicken if it’s tied up, then place in a big roasting tin. Shove the lemon halves into the cavity.

I’ve made this several times. So easy and so good! Real hit with all extended family tools Marmite gives a lovely additional umami flavour.
