How to Cook the Chicken:

Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/gas mark 6.
Wash the chicken, remove the excess fat from the meat, but leave the skin on. Place the chicken in a baking dish.
Dribble the oil over the chicken, cut the lemon in half and squeeze it over the chicken and throw the lemon halves in the baking dish after squeezing. Add squashed garlic cloves, salt and pepper. Put the baking dish into the oven and cook for 30 min.

After 30 min of cooking, add the basil and cook for 10 min.
Remove the baking dish from the oven and put on the hob over a high heat, add the white wine and let it bubble for few minutes.
Serve hot with steamed broccoli or salad leaves, don't eat the skin no matter how tempting.
