Wash chicken thoroughly inside and out, dab dry and season with salt and pepper. Wash lemons thoroughly and cut one lemon into slices. Put 4 lemon slices into the chicken.

After 30 minutes add 250 ml of water. Remove the zest from the remaining lemon in fine strips using a zest ripper. Halve the lemon and squeeze it. Mix oil with honey, lemon juice and zest.
