Need help - re Pete's chicken, lemon and honey roast - am I being a bit thick!!!

It says to use 1 lemon - rind and juice in the ingredients. Then in the instructions it says to make a marinade of the lemon juice, honey & soy sauce in a all bowl, coat the chicken and then add the garlic cloves, then to slice the lemon into slices and lie across each chicken breast, cover in Clingfilm and refrigerate. Should it have said to use the lemon rind, honey and soy sauce and keep the slices of lemon (with the juice) for going over the top of the chicken????? or should I have got 2 lemons? Has anyone made this recipe - what did you do. I have just used the juice in the marinade and left out putting lemon slices on the chicken. Thanks :)

Hi Maddie.
As I marinaded the chicken in an oven-proof dish ready to go in the oven, that's why I placed the lemons on top.
It doesn't really matter if you left them out.
