Salt the chicken a day ahead of time, under the skin and in the cavity, then let it air dry.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Cut the two garlic heads in half and place them in the cavity of the chicken.

Juice the lemons and add the juice to the chicken stock.

Peel the Yukon Gold potatoes and cut them into irregular shapes for crispiness.

Place the potatoes in a roasting pan and pour the chicken stock and lemon juice over them.

Drizzle extra virgin olive oil over the potatoes and add a little extra salt.

Add fresh oregano to the potatoes.

Tuck the chicken legs together without tying them, ensuring the garlic is inside the cavity.

Place the chicken in the preheated oven.

Roast for at least 1 hour and 30 minutes, checking for an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
