By asyed

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
• 1/2 cup of olive oil
• 1 1/2 cups of water

Preparation

Step 1

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.

Check periodically to make sure there is still a little water in the pan. If needed, add 1/4 to 1/2 cup more.
