In a small bowl, whisk together the oil or fat, honey, paprika, onion powder, Italian seasoning, chili flakes, salt and pepper.

Place the chicken in a roasting pan and spread out the pieces to cook evenly. Pour the oil mixture over the chicken, turning to coat on all sides. arrange the lemon, garlic and shallots all around and under the chicken and sprinkle on the herbs. For best results, cover the chicken and place in the fridge to marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight.

Step 4
Season the chicken with salt and pepper and roast for 35-45 minutes, or until cooked through, the skin is crispy, and the juices run clear when pierces with the tip of a knife.

Squeeze the roasted lemons at the tables.
