Preheat the oven to 180°C / 350°F / Gas mark 4.

Season your chicken pieces all over with salt and pepper then using a heat proof oven dish, put them in one layer.

Throw in all the basil leaves and stalks, then add in the tomatoes.

Scatter the garlic cloves in with the chilli and drizzle over some olive oil.

Stir to combine and mix a bit.

Place in the oven for 1½ hours, turning the tomatoes halfway through, until the chicken skin is crisp and the meat cooked through.
