Mediterranean Roast Chicken Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Greek Recipes. (Mediterranean Roast Chicken Recipe). This recipe comes from Greece, where roast chicken and potatoes are a staple dish. You can use lemon or orange juice in this roast chicken recipe; I like both. Lemon is more typical. Also, my aunt never uses garlic, so you can leave it out if desired. Serve with a crisp green salad.

Directions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step 2

Whisk orange juice Dijon mustard olive oil Greek oregano salt and pepper together in a large bowl. Add potatoes and coat thoroughly with the mixture. Transfer potatoes to a large baking dish.

Step 3

Stuff garlic cloves into the chicken underneath the skin. Place the chicken into the bowl with the remaining orange juice mixture; coat thoroughly and transfer to the baking dish on top of the potatoes. Pour any remaining orange juice mixture over the chicken and potatoes.

Step 4

Bake uncovered in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear 60 to 90 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Check every 30 minutes while roasting and add a bit of hot water if the potatoes seem too dry.

Step 5

Remove chicken from the oven cover with a doubled sheet of aluminum foil and allow to rest in a warm area for 10 minutes before slicing.
