  1. This is such an easy and tasty dinner. The lemon and oregano go great with the chicken and potatoes. A simple dish that is full of flavor. Thank you, Mary Ellen for sharing this recipe. :-)
     
  2. This was absolutely delicous. We loved the comfort-ey taste of the chicken, potatoes and lemon. Great recipe!
     
  3. This was truly a great roast chicken recipe. I basted it every 30 minutes and cooked it for the full 2 1/2 hours. It looked gorgeous when it came out of the oven and was absolutely delicious. Thank you so much. I will make this many times.
     
  4. This was great! I'm always leary of using too much oregano, so I only used about 1 1/2 tsps, but this recipe was excellent! I loved the lemon flavor. I used an already cut up chicken (pick of the chix) and it still came out super. I also sprinkled some plain breadcrumbs on top of the chicken, not even enough to cover it, to give it a little added texture. I roasted for an hour covered, and then an hour uncovered, while basting it occasionally. Great and perfectly crispy skin. Even my picky 3 and 5 year olds liked it. Will definitely make again. Thanks Mary Ellen!
     
  5. THIS WAS DELICIOUS! Instead of baking potatoes, I used fingerling potatoes. Aside from that I followed this to a tee. What a delicious flavor and the chicken was SO moist!

  1. This is a great and easy recipe. I used olive oil instead of butter, vermouth (for white wine) instead of chix broth and added fresh garlic into a marinade that I poured over the roast.
