  • 1 free-range supermarket roast chicken  
  • ¾ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ tsp fennel seeds
  • 2 fresh bay leaves
  • 4 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
  • 1 red onion, finely chopped

  • 1 tsp chilli flakes
  • ½ cup green olives
  • 1 lemon, thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. Using kitchen scissors, cut the supermarket roast chicken into pieces, then arrange onto a large serving plate.
