Greek Chicken Recipe

I simply love baking or roasting chicken. It is not only easy to make but taste so moist and delicious without frying. This chicken is my recent discovery and I am loving it to the core. The marination is quite basic one. And it makes it so moist and flavourful.

You know what i love more than the chicken is the potatoes. It taste so delicious and for all those vegetarians, you can simply leave the chicken out and make roast potatoes just like this.

Greek Chicken marinate

Greek marinate is light and made with olive oil with lots of fresh herbs and garlic. If you can source fresh oregano then use that. Use lemon juice generously.

Garlic – 10 fat cloves chopped finely
Salt to taste
Pepper – 2 tsp
Chilli Powder – 2 tsp
Dried Oregano – 1.5 tblspn
Dried Rosemary – 1 tblspn
Lemon Juice – ¼ cup
Olive Oil or Normal Oil – ¼ cup

How to Make Greek Chicken

  • Take chicken in a bowl, add all the marinade ingredients and mix well. Cover and leave it to marinate for at least 2 hours. You can leave it to marinate overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 220 degree C.
  • Now take a baking tray. Arrange the chicken skin side up, now place potatoes between them.Spoon the marinate over the chicken and potatoes.
