Grilled Oregano Chicken (Kotopoulo Riganato tes Skaras)

Submitted by Judy from Hawaii

"This recipe is simple & tasty. It can also be broiled. I clipped this from a women's magazine years ago - I have absolutely no idea which one, or I'd give credit. I would recommend buying the oregano at a health food store, they usually have spices that can be bought in bulk for much less than a grocery store. Otherwise, this would be quite expensive to make. Prep time does not include marinating."

This was a great recipe. I used fresh herbs from my herb garden, which really made a difference. The chicken was very moist - my family loved it!

I did not marinade overnight. I used bonelss breasts and put them in the marinade early a.m. and cooked them on the grill for the evening meal. They are very moist and tender. Served with Green Salad the Best! recipe 66596 and red potatoes with green beans. Excellent flavor. Thanks Judy for sharing a wonderful recipe.

I wanted to BBQ this chicken but a sudden downpour dampened my spirits and I grilled it in the oven with excellent results, Easy, tasty recipe that will become a standard favorite. Thanks Judy from Hawaii
