I just saw this and I like Chef John and his recipes. I thought this is a great recipe and it reminded me a lot of my years in Greece. This is a real Greek recipe and tasted it, I am sure you will enjoy it. We need good news, we need that sunshine now. So why not think happy thoughts and for those of you who have been to Greece this will for sure bring memories.
Greek Lemon Chicken and potatoes:
Ingredients for 4 Portions Greek Lemon Chicken and Potatoes:
1 whole chicken, about 4 pound, cut in sections,
OR 4 pounds chicken thighs bone-in, skin-on
3 russet potatoes, cut in quarters
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tsp dried rosemary
1 rounded tablespoon dried oregano
pinch of cayenne
6 cloves of garlic, finely minced
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup olive oil
2/3 cup chicken broth for the pan, plus a splash to deglaze after roasting
fresh chopped oregano to garnish
Roast at 425 for about 45 minutes, or until the chicken is well browned and cooked through.
The video will show you how to do it all:
I have had this dish in Greece on more than one occasion. It is so simple and so delicious. In fact, it was the first meal I ate in Greece when I arrived there to study. The little basement restaurant was close to the School and I would go there often – always for the same thing.
Yes, the thought of Greece brings sunshine into our dreary lives, and it is such thoughts that give us strength and hope to face whatever is ahead.
As always, your blogs delight me, not only for your narratives but also for your wisdom and judgement.
