Description

Great Greek flavors take on a classic fried chicken. A great surprise in every bite.

Ingredients

  • 1 whole Fryer Chicken
  • 1 whole Lemon, Juiced
  • 3 cloves Garlic, Minced
  • 1 whole Small Onion, Rough Chop
  • ¼ cups Olive Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1-¼ cup All-purpose Flour
  • 3 cups Vegetable Oil, For Frying

Preparation

To a large Ziploc bag, add in everything but the flour and frying oil. Mix well, seal, and place in the refrigerator overnight.

The following day, remove the chicken pieces from the marinade and place them on a plate. To another large Ziploc bag, add the flour, and season with a bit more salt and pepper. Take a couple of pieces of the chicken and add them to the Ziploc bag. Seal and give it a good shake, making sure you have coated the chicken with the flour. Remove, shaking off the chicken pieces to remove any excess flour, and place on a wire rack. Continue with the remaining pieces of chicken.

To a large cast iron skillet, add about an inch of oil, being careful not to add too much as it will rise when you add the chicken. Heat on medium heat until the oil reaches about 360 degrees. Add in your pieces, placing the darker meat in the center of the skillet and carefully arrange the other pieces around the perimeter. If you have an oil splatter screen, use it, and just place onto the top of the skillet. Cook for about 4-6 minutes on each side. Don’t mess with it and keep turning it, just let it be. Reduce the heat to a medium low after turning the second time around and let the chicken cook for about another 12-15 minutes. When the chicken is done, remove the pieces from the skillet, and place on a wire rack the let any excess oil drain. Plate and serve.

I think my dinner table was pleasantly surprised when they bit into the chicken. Not only did it have the perfect crunch that you expect in great fried chicken, but it was packed full of great flavors. You really got great lemon, garlic and onion flavor in every bite. Hope you enjoy.
