Ingredients
- 1.2kg whole chicken
- 75g butter
- 2 onions, chopped
- 10 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
- 1 leek, roughly chopped

Method
Preheat the oven to 185°C.
Heat a large oven-proof pan or pot over medium-high heat and melt the butter.
Season the chicken with salt and pepper inside and out and place in the pan.
Cook for a few minutes on each side until lightly browned all over, then remove the chicken from the pan.
Add the onions, garlic, leek and celery to the pan, and sweat off for four to five minutes until softened, then return the chicken to the pan.
Pour the white wine, milk and cream over the top of the chicken.
Squeeze the lemon juice over the chicken then drop the lemon quarters into the pan to cook with the chicken.
Cover with a lid then place into the oven for 30 minutes, then remove the lid and cook for a further 25 minutes uncovered in the oven. (The chicken might take a little longer in the oven depending on size)
Scatter the parsley around the chicken and serve with crusty sour dough bread.
