Roasted Greek Chicken
Ingredients: About 5 pounds chicken quarters (leg and thigh together) 2/3 cup minced garlic (3 heads if using fresh) 1/2 cup lemon juice 1/4 cup olive oil 21/2 tablespoons dried oregano 2 tablespoons pepper 2 teaspoons salt 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley Rinse chicken, pat dry, and cut off any visible fat. Place the quarters in a large 12 x 17-inch pan. In a bowl, mix the minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, oregano, pepper, and salt. Smear the garlic mixture evenly over chicken, then arrange in a single layer. Bake in a 375 degree F. oven until skin is well browned, about 11/2 hours. After 45 minutes, baste the chicken with pan juices about every 10 to 15 minutes. When done, transfer chicken to a warm platter. Skim the fat off of the juices and discard. To the pan, add 1/2 cup boiling water to pan, stirring to loosen browned bits, while heating it on a medium burner. Boil for a minute or so, and transfer to a bowl or gravy server. Sprinkle the parsley over the chicken and provide the sauce for guests. Serves 8.
