Preheat the oven to 220°C (200°C fan forced) and pat the chicken dry with a paper towel.

Step 2

In a large bowl combine the olive oil, basil, oregano, salt and pepper.

Step 3

Slice the chicken breasts in half lengthwise, then add to the bowl of marinade with the drumsticks. Coat all pieces of chicken and place them in a baking dish, skin side up.

Step 4

Place in the oven for 30 minutes.

Step 5

Then lower the temperature to 180°C and cook for a further ten minutes.

Step 6

Then turn the setting to grill and allow the skin to crisp up for 5-10 minutes. You can move the dish closer to the top of the oven. Watch carefully to ensure it doesn’t burn. Remove from the oven and allow to sit for 10 minutes before serving.

Step 7

Meanwhile to make the sauce, place all ingredients in a high powered blender and blend. To serve, spread some of the sauce on the base of the plate, and top with chicken pieces.
