Melt butter with olive oil and put on an oven dish.

Wash the chicken very well and place over butter-oil mixture. Crumble the chicken bouillon cube and spread inside the chicken. Then, put the peeled onion and the olives inside the chicken.

Pour the wine and lemon juice and sprinkle the peppers on the chicken (the quantity depends on how hot you want it). Cover the whole chicken with the bacon slices.

Cover with tinfoil and bake in the oven at 230ÂºC for 1-1/2 hour, then remove the foil and bake at 280ÂºC for another 30 minutes.

If you like, you can put some peeled and lightly boiled potatoes to roast with the chicken in the last 30 minutes. You should moisten the chicken one or twice during the baking process with the gravy on the dish.
