Steps:
- Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Wipe the chickens and season them inside. Using a skewer, prick the lemons all over, then put two inside each chicken. Tie the legs together, place in separate roasting tins, then brush each with 1 tbsp oil. Roast for 1 hr, then brush the skin with a little honey and season with salt and pepper. Roast for a further 30-40 mins until the chickens are well cooked and glossy. Remove from the tins and leave to cool. They can now be wrapped in foil and stored in the fridge for up to 24 hrs.
- To make the dressing, whisk together the crème fraîche, tarragon, lemon zest and juice, remaining oil, salt and pepper.
- To serve, separate the leaves from the Little Gems, then arrange over two platters. Remove the breasts from the chickens in one piece, then pull the meat from the legs and wings and shred it. Cut each breast into 7-8 pieces. Put a little brown meat in each lettuce leaf, then top each with a slice of breast. Just before serving, drizzle a little dressing over each piece of chicken.

Tips:
- Using fresh herbs is essential for the best flavor in this dressing. Mint and tarragon are classic pairings with lemon, but you can also experiment with other herbs like basil, thyme, or dill.
- To get the most flavor out of your herbs, chop them finely before adding them to the dressing. You can also use a mortar and pestle to grind them into a paste.
- Don't be afraid to adjust the proportions of the ingredients to suit your taste. If you like a more tangy dressing, add more lemon juice. If you prefer a milder flavor, add more olive oil.
- This dressing is best when used fresh, but it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Be sure to shake the dressing well before using.
- Lemon herb dressing is a versatile condiment that can be used on a variety of dishes. Try it on salads, grilled chicken or fish, or roasted vegetables.
