GREEK SPATCHCOCK CHICKEN WITH LEMON & GARLIC

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 390 F.

GREEK LEMON CHICKEN AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly oil a large roasting pan.
• Place chicken pieces in large bowl. Season with salt, oregano, pepper, rosemary, and cayenne pepper. Add fresh lemon juice, olive oil, and garlic. Place potatoes in bowl with the chicken; stir together until chicken and potatoes are evenly coated with marinade.
• Transfer chicken pieces, skin side up, to prepared roasting pan, reserving marinade. Distribute potato pieces among chicken thighs. Drizzle with 2/3 cup chicken broth. Spoon remainder of marinade over chicken and potatoes.
• Place in preheated oven. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Toss chicken and potatoes, keeping chicken skin side up; continue baking until chicken is browned and cooked through, about 25 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Transfer chicken to serving platter and keep warm.
• Set oven to broil or highest heat setting. Toss potatoes once again in pan juices. Place pan under broiler and broil until potatoes are caramelized, about 3 minutes. Transfer potatoes to serving platter with chicken.
• Place roasting pan on stove over medium heat. Add a splash of broth and stir up browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Strain; spoon juices over chicken and potatoes. Top with chopped oregano.

GREEK LEMON CHICKEN WITH POTATOES

Steps:

• (I often add about 1 tsp of crumbled, dried rosemary to the potatoes and 1/2 a teaspoon to the chicken- this is fantastic and it then becomes oregano-rosemary-lemon-garlic chicken).
• Wash the chicken well and pat dry.
• Combine all the remaining ingredients and massage the chicken, inside and out, with this mixture. Put the chicken in a big bowl and put in the fridge while you prepare the potatoes.
• Put the potatoes and all remaining ingredients into a large baking pan. Wash your hands and put them in the pan and toss the potatoes around to coat with other ingredients.
• Put in the oven and crank up the heat to 250°C (480F).
• Start roasting the potatoes and when they're golden-brown, stir them to bring the white sides up and push to the side of the pan to make room in the middle for the chicken.
• If all the water has evaporated, and potatoes have started to stick to pan, add 1/2 cup more.
• Add the chicken, breast-side down, and pour any juices that have accumulated in bowl over.
• Return to very hot oven and roast until chicken is golden-brown.
• Turn over, breast-side up and continue roasting until chicken is nearly as golden-brown on other side.
• At this point, I turn the oven off- don't open it- and leave the chicken in for another 1/2 an hour. I like to think I'm saving energy this way, but it also cooks the chicken beautifully.
• In all, I'd say from when you put the potatoes into the cold oven to when you remove the chicken to carve after sitting in off oven for 1/2 an hour, we're talking 2 hours.
• Serve with pan juices.

GREEK LEMON POTATOES

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a large zip lock bag. Let marinate all day in the fridge or until you're ready to start cooking!
• Pour all of mixture, including liquids on a large rimmed baking sheet lined with foil and sprayed generously with cooking spray.
• Roast potatoes at 400 degrees for 1 hour, or until golden brown and crunchy, stirring every 20 minutes. (I live at high altitude, so mine take longer).

LEMON & ROSEMARY ROAST CHICKEN WITH CRISPY POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. Cut the potatoes into 2 mouthful-sized chunks and put in a large pan of salted water. Bring to the boil, cook for 5 mins, then drain. Meanwhile, place the olive oil in a really large, sturdy roasting tin and heat for 5 mins. Tip the potatoes in and cook for 20 mins.
• Meanwhile, peel the zest from the lemon (a vegetable peeler is great for this) and slice it finely. Mix it with the sea salt. Place the chicken on a board with the legs pointing towards you, and undo any string tied around. Lift up the skin around the cavity and work your fingers under the skin over the breast and legs, easing it away from the flesh. Push the salty shreds of lemon rind under the skin, spreading it as evenly as possible, followed by four sprigs of rosemary, one on each leg and one on each breast. Then put one sprig inside the bird along with the peeled lemon.
• Take the tin out of the oven, give the potatoes a good shake, and then arrange them so you can fit a rack over the roasting tin. Then place the chicken upside down on the rack and roast for 20 mins. Turn the chicken over and turn potatoes, coating them in the fat that's run off the bird. Return to the oven and roast for another 20 mins, then turn the potatoes again and cook for another 20-30 mins, until the chicken juices run clear.
• Remove the roasting tin from the oven and put the chicken on a serving platter, covering it with foil to keep it warm. Leave to rest for 20 mins. Meanwhile, scoop the potatoes into an ovenproof dish and return to the oven to finish crisping up. Pour away the fat from the roasting tin, then put the tin on the hob over a low to medium heat. Add half the stock, then bring to simmering point, stirring and scraping up the brown residue. Boil, reducing until darker and syrupy. Add the rest of the stock, and bring to simmering point again, bubbling to reduce it. Taste and adjust seasoning. Pour through a sieve into a warmed gravy jug.
• Pile the potatoes around the chicken, and garnish with remaining rosemary sprigs. Serve with gravy and braised lettuce.
• Freezing: Freeze the chicken at the end of step 2, for up to a month. Defrost thoroughly before continuing with the recipe.

GREEK-STYLE ROASTED CHICKEN LEGS, POTATOES AND CAPERS

Steps:

• Place the chicken into the pan along with the potatoes, onions and capers.
• Pour the broth over.
• In a small bowl whisk together oil, lemon juice, oregano and rosemary.
• Pour evenly over the chicken and potatoes.
• Bake for about 1 hour and 15 minutes (could take more or less time depending on the size of chicken pieces) basting occasionally with juices.
• *NOTE* if you find that either one is cooked before the other (either the chicken or potatoes) then remove to a dish and continue to cook.

GREEK LEMON ROSEMARY POTATOES

Steps:

• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, add chicken broth, olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic powder. Whisk the ingredients until very well blended and set aside for now.
• Preheat oven to 375ºF/190ºC and grease a baking dish; set aside.
• An hour later, drain and place the potatoes in a single layer on a cutting board lined with a clean dish towel. Put another clean dish towel on top and dry them.
• Transfer them to a large bowl and pour the seasoned dressing on top. Toss them very well to coat and transfer the wedges to the prepared baking dish.
• Arrange them in a single layer before seasoning generously with ground sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
• Transfer to the preheated oven and cook for 1:00 hour.
• About 40 minutes later, remove from the heat and flip the wedges. Sprinkle on chopped rosemary, add a little bit more ground sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
• Return back to the oven for the remaining 20 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and flip them again.
• Turn the temperature to broil and return the dish back to the oven; set the timer for 10 minutes.
• When time is up, remove the potatoes from the heat and flip them once again.
• Place the dish back under the broiler for another 5 minutes before taking the potato wedges out from the heat, flip them for the last time and return them back under the broiler for the final 5 minutes.
