3. Greek-Style Garlic Chicken

The flavors of the Mediterranean bring the taste of baked
chicken to new heights.

Serves 4

1 Chicken, cut-up (3-4 pounds)
2 1/2 teaspoons Oregano
1 teaspoon Kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon Pepper
5 cloves Garlic
2 Tablespoons Lemon juice
1 1/2 Tablespoons Olive oil

Pre-heat the oven to 350. Lightly oil a large casserole
dish. Add the chicken pieces. Rub the skin with the
oregano, salt and pepper. Peel and thinly slice the garlic.
Top the chicken with the garlic and lemon juice. Place some
of the spices between the skin and the meat. Allow the
chicken to sit, covered, in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
Drizzle the oil on the chicken and bake for 50-60 minutes
(or until tender and lightly brown). Baste often. Serve
warm with your favorite rice dish.
