Baked Chicken

Here's another easy one. I remembered about the picture only after we'd eaten it up!
Preheat your oven at 180F (medium oven).
Chop onion rings and garlic and cover the bottom of your baking dish with these.
Place the chicken pieces on this bed of onion and garlic.
Put more onion rings and garlic on the chicken; crush rosemary, peppercorns and sprinkle all over. Also sprinkle some salt.
Pour olive oil to coat all the chicken pieces and onions nicely.
Pour in a cup and a half of pineapple or orange juice.
Bake for 45 mins (keep checking to see if it's becoming too dry, turn the chicken once in a while and add olives towards the end)
I cooked about 5 pieces of a giant grandfather chicken (much better to get a smaller, more succulent bird) for which I required 2 large onions and 5 large cloves of garlic.
