Lemon juice, olive oil, oregano -- it doesn't get much better than that.

The recipe comes from her Greek mother. I've made it many times over the years, and have tweaked it a bit here and there adding different types of fresh herbs...but it's always a winner, simple but very flavorful.<br /><br />1 roasting chicken.<br />Pour lemon juice, olive oil over chicken. Sprinkle inside with salt. Season both sides with salt, pepper, seasoned salt, seasoned pepper, lemon pepper, oregano. Add about 1 cup water to the roasting pan.<br /><br />Bake uncovered, back side up, at 400F until brown (about 45 min). Pour about 1/2 cup of sherry over chicken and baste with juices (raise temp to 425) and let get good and brown (baste).<br /><br />After about 20 min, turn chicken over (return to 400F). After about 1 3/4 hrs (from start), add potatoes. Baste, cover with tin foil, lower temp to 350 and cook for 1 1/2 hrs.<br /><br />Bon appétit......<br /><br />DR<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-23975895871296922652015-05-24T20:34:22.664+02:002015-05-24T20:34:22.664+02:00This looks delicious.

Probably the same you had, and they were good. I once had a German friend who made them. That's how I first heard the name. Walt says his mother made them on a regular basis, and his family in Albany NY called the "specialies."Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-90186869829310123362015-05-24T08:58:55.285+02:002015-05-24T08:58:55.285+02:00That looks lovely food, Ken...

Spaetzle... in the supermarché the other day....<br />they have the same "bite"... and, being cut into 6" lengths, are easier to handle on the plate...<br />even if not as much fun... or bringing as much luck.<br /><br />Talking of luck... I hope you get better news from the States in the next few days...<br />and, because French is now almost your first language....<br />you are in the perfect position to give support to D., once he completes his move "south" to be with their family...<br />and, in some ways, it will be nice for you and Walt to get another, permanent neighbour....<br />Keep well... and always look on the bright side of life,<br />TimLe Pré de la Forgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02396822372095610004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-58341865306906986312015-05-24T07:33:31.309+02:002015-05-24T07:33:31.309+02:00Wow the meal looks so deliciousWow the meal looks so deliciousGosiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14604712540141917583noreply@blogger.com
