Greek Roast Chicken with Potatoes Recipe
This simple Greek Roast Chicken recipe is a great option for a flavorful and hearty dinner.
Equipment
- Meat Thermometer
- Roasting Pan
Ingredients
- 1 4-5 lb Whole Chicken giblets removed and dried
- 3 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 5 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1 teaspoon dill
- 1 teaspoon rosemary
- 1.5 lb baby potatoes
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400F.
- Combine olive oil, salt, black pepper, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, dill, and rosemary in a small bowl.
- Place potatoes and chicken in a roasting pan or large baking tray. Rub chicken and potatoes with olive oil mixture.
- Roast the chicken for 45 minutes, or until the thickest part of the thigh reads 165F.
- Let the chicken rest for 15-20 minutes, then serve.
Notes
- Check the temperature: To make sure the chicken is fully cooked, insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the thigh. The internal temperature should read 165°F.
- Dry the chicken: Be sure to pat the chicken dry with paper towels. This step helps the skin get extra crispy while roasting.
- Don’t skip the resting time: After the chicken comes out of the oven, let it rest for 15-20 minutes before carving. This helps the juices redistribute and keeps the chicken moist.
