Healthy Chicken and Turkey Recipes - Greek Roasted Chicken Recipe

Ingredients

  • 3 to 4 pounds of chicken (whole, split in half, cut-up broiler-fryer, or cut-up parts of your choice)

  • 1/4 lemon juice

  • 1/2 cup olive oil

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Serves 5

Method:

  1. Wash your chicken, and pat it dry with paper towels.

  2. Combine the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper, and stir them together well. If you're using a whole chicken, rub it all over with some of this mixture, making sure to rub plenty inside the body cavity, as well.

  3. If you're using cut-up chicken, put it in a large zipper-lock bag, pour the marinade over it, and seal the bag. Let the chicken marinate for at least an hour, or as long as a day.

  4. At least 1 hour before you want to serve the chicken, pull it out of the bag. You can either grill your chicken or you can roast it in a 375°F oven for about 1 hour. Either way, cook it until the juices run clear when it's pierced to the bone.
