4. Rub the chicken with the remaining olive oil, then sprinkle with salt. Heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat and fry the chicken, skin-side down, for 5 minutes until golden.
5. Transfer to a roasting tray and roast for 25 minutes until cooked through.
6. Meanwhile, fry the bacon in the chicken pan until crispy, then add the onion and garlic. Fry gently for 5-10 minutes until softened, then add the stock. Simmer for 5-7 minutes to thicken slightly, then take the pan off the heat.
