Heat two tablespoons of oil in a pan. Place the chicken in it and sear the chicken on both sides on high heat. Put carrot, onions, celery and leeks in the baking tray. Add bay leaves and salt and drizzle the remaining oil. Pour one cup of orange juice.
3. Place the chicken over the vegetables in the tray. Cover with aluminium foil and place the tray in the preheated oven. Roast at 150°C for two and a half hours. Remove the foil and transfer the chicken into a serving dish. Pour the vegetables and pan gravy all around it and serve.
