Ingredients:
Pre heat your oven to 180 deg C.
Clean your chicken under cold running water, ensuring the insides are clean and any excess fatty skin removed. Pat dry and place on a large baking tray.
Stuff the cavity with the fresh thyme sprigs and butter. Add the juice of 1 lemon over the chicken, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle the oregano and season well with salt and pepper. Pour 1 cup of the water around the baking pan and place the chicken in the oven.
Cook for 50 mins-1 hour and then add your orzo to the juices/sauce. Add the remainder of the lemon juice and the water. Mix well ensuring the orzo is covered.
Cook for a further 40 mins, until the orzo is al dente and there is a crispy layer on top.
Allow the chicken to rest in the pan for ten minutes before serving with chopped parsley.
