   Lay the chicken in a large roasting tin and scatter the butternut squash and garlic cloves around it.

3. 3

   Drizzle over the oil and squeeze the juice from the lemon quarters, tucking the empty shells in and around the chicken and squash.

   Roast in the oven for 40 minutes, until the chicken is crisp and the squash in soft and lightly caramelised.

   If your chicken thighs are particularly large you may need to increase cooking by 10 minutes.

   Return to the oven for a further 10 minutes until the chicken is sticky and golden.
