1 Large Chicken
400g Brussels Sprouts
2 White Onions
1 Lemon
1/2 Bunch of Parsley

Pre-heat the oven to 180^oC.
Finely chop the parsley and add to a small bowl with the thyme leaves, 2 tbsp olive oil, black pepper, and the juice from half the lemon.
Place the whole chicken in a roasting tray. Rub the chicken with the olive oil mix, putting some under the skin for maximum flavour. Place the half of the lemon used for the juice inside the chicken. Slice the remaining half of lemon, and place on the baking tray around the chicken.
Place the chicken in the oven, and roast for 30 minutes.
Cut the onions into quarters and trim the brussels sprouts. Add to the roasting tray, and continue to roast for another 30 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.
Let the chicken rest for 10-15 minutes. Carve the chicken and serve with the brussels sprouts.
