A delightful Greek-inspired dish featuring tender roasted chicken and flavorful potatoes, perfect for a comforting meal.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
Place the whole chicken in a roasting pan.
Using a rack in the pan can help the chicken cook more evenly.
Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and half of the oregano.
Rub the seasonings under the skin for enhanced flavor.
Cut the potatoes into wedges and arrange them around the chicken in the pan.
Try to keep the potato wedges uniform in size for even roasting.
Drizzle the olive oil and the juice of one lemon over the chicken and potatoes.
Use a basting brush to spread the olive oil evenly.
Pour the chicken broth into the bottom of the pan.
This helps keep the chicken moist and creates a flavorful base for basting.
Roast in the preheated oven for 2 to 2.5 hours, basting the chicken and potatoes with the pan juices every 30 minutes.
Basting frequently ensures the chicken stays juicy and the potatoes absorb the flavors.
Once the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before carving.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, making the chicken more tender.
Serve the chicken and potatoes on a platter, garnished with slices of the remaining lemon.
Adding fresh lemon slices enhances the presentation and provides a burst of fresh flavor.
