Lemon Garlic Chicken

This is super easy and has become one of my favorite recipes. Lemon Garlic Chicken.I  have seen recipes where it is called Greek Chicken. Its just a few ingredients and very easy to prepare.You just throw all the ingredients in a pan and wait until its time to eat. What could be easier than that, the hard part is actually waiting for it.The potatoes soak up all the juice and are amazing!!!! The chicken is moist inside but crispy on the outside. Its just totally yummy!!! Try it I am sure you will love it.

   

In Greek: κοτόπουλο σκορδάτο, pronounced koh-TOH-poo-loh skor-THAH-toh

This is one of the easiest recipes to make, and one of the most tempting to eat. Adjust the garlic down if it's not a favorite, and the classic tastes of lemon and oregano will still make this dish uniquely Greek.

Cook Time: 1 hour, 40 minutes.

Ingredients

   * 3 1/4 - 3 3/4 pound chicken, cut into quarters

   * 3 1/2 pounds of potatoes

   * juice from 2-3 medium lemons

   * 2 teaspoons of salt

   * 1 heaping tablespoon of oregano

   * 1/2 teaspoon of pepper

   * 8 cloves of garlic, finely chopped

Preheat oven to 355°F (180°C).

Rinse the chicken and pat dry. Peel the potatoes and cut into quarters, lengthwise. Salt and pepper the chicken and potatoes. Transfer chicken to a roasting pan, and add potatoes, on and around the chicken. Add oregano, garlic, olive oil, and lemon juice, distributing evenly across the pan. Add water and roast uncovered at 355°F (180°C) for a total of 1 hour and 40 minutes. Half way through (50 minutes), turn the chicken.
