Greek Lemon-Garlic Chicken Recipe

Recipe By The Spruce Eats

In greek:, pronounced koh-toh-poo-loh skor-thah-tohthis is a traditional greek chicken dish served at festivals and holiday celebrations that happens to be one of the easiest recipes to make, and one of the most tempting to eat. You simply roast chicken pieces and potatoes in an oregano, garlic, olive oil, and lemon juice mixture. You can lessen the garlic if it is not one of your favorite flavors; don't worrythe classic tastes of lemon and oregano will still make this dish uniquely greek. Make sure you use mediterranean oregano for this disheven better, a greek variety. You don't want to use mexican oregano as it has hints of licorice and citrus while the greek version is more savory and earthy tasting. Because the recipe includes chicken and potatoes all you need to round out the meal is a nice salad of cucumbers and tomatoes.
