3 1/4 - 3 3/4 pound chicken, cut into quarters or use about 5 breasts

3 1/2 pounds of baking 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

 

Preheat oven to 350°F 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 350°F for a total of 1 hour and 40 minutes. Half way through (50 minutes), turn the chicken. Note: Check periodically to make sure there is still a little water in the pan. If needed, add 1/4 to 1/2 cup more.
