Lemon Greek Chicken with Potatoes

Adapted: About.com

I love Greek food. Absolutely love it, minus lamb, which I don't eat for personal reasons.

I normally grab a Greek chicken dish when I head out to a Greek restaurant which is near us. Our son Jonathon is able to do some killer Greek Chicken wings, which closer to Summer, I will be posting for the Pub and Grub, and those are SHEER pleasure. Well, lo and behold, I was stumbling around Pinterest and came across this recipe for Lemon Greek Chicken with Potatoes and knew I had to try it!

So, here we go!:

Ingredients:

4 pound chicken, cut into quarters

8potatoes, peeled and quartered

juice from 2-3 medium lemons (NOT CONCENTRATE)

1 teaspoons of salt

1 tablespoon of oregano

1/2 teaspoon of pepper

8 cloves of garlic, finely chopped or 4 teaspoons jarred garlic

1/2 cup of olive oil

1 cup of water

Instructions:

1) Preheat oven to 375°F

2) Rinse chicken and pat dry. Using cutters, cut chicken into quarters.

3) Peel the potatoes and quarter.
4) Salt and pepper the chicken and potatoes.

5) Transfer chicken to a roasting pan, add potatoes, on and around the chicken.
6) In a mixing bowl, mix oregano, garlic, olive oil, and lemon juice, distributing evenly across the pan.
