Description

This chicken is a family favorite that I recreated after seeing a similar dish on a popular TV show. Everyone loves it and we never have leftovers!

Ingredients

  • 1 whole Chicken, Cut Up
  • 3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 Tablespoon Kosher Salt
  • 1 Tablespoon Black Pepper
  • 2 Tablespoons Dried Oregano
  • 3 cloves Garlic, Chopped
  • 1 whole Lemon, Juiced (reserve Juice)

Preparation

Place chicken in a single layer in a large baking dish. Drizzle olive oil over chicken. Sprinkle chicken with salt, pepper, and oregano. Spread garlic evenly over chicken. Pour lemon juice over chicken then put lemon halves in the pan with the chicken. Cover and let sit for 1 1/2 to 2 hours; then bake at 375 degrees for about 1 hour or until juices run clear. Broil for 2-3 minutes or until chicken skin is golden brown.

I normally do not refrigerate the chicken while marinating because of the short time I allow it to marinate; also we keep our house fairly cool (around 67 degrees). As for covering it, I have tried covering during baking and then uncovering for broiling but don’t get good results. Covering it during baking makes the skin really soggy and it just doesn’t recover under the broiler. If you use skinless chicken you could probably cover during baking and uncover for broiling.

I hope this doesn’t sound stupid, but do you refrigerate the chicken while letting it sit? And also, do you leave it covered while baking, and then uncover for broiling?

This chicken is very flavorful! The only problem I had with it is the same problem I have with most chicken. The yummy marinade flavor is only on the outside of the chicken, and the inside doesn’t have much flavor. The next time I make it, i’m going to brine the chicken before marinating, and I’m also going to let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator -uncovered, -hoping the skin will dry out a little. I think that will help the skin brown and get crispy in the oven. Thanks for the great recipe!
