Directions
Heat oven to 180C . Arrange the chicken in a large roasting dish. Rub with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. In a bowl combine the lemon juice, honey, soy sauce, garlic, half the parsley and salt and pepper. Pour 3/4 of the mixture over the chicken, arrange the lemon slices on top. Cover with foil and bake for 20mins, or until the chicken is almost cooked through. Remove the foil and lay the asparagus around the chicken.
