Ingredients

• 1 3-4 lbs Whole chicken
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 whole Lemon
• 6 cloves Garlic cloves
• 1.5 tablespoons Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 medium-sized Yukon gold potatoes
• 1 large Red onion
• 1 cup Chicken stock
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Rinse the whole chicken under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels. Place it on a large roasting pan.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, juice of 1 lemon, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.

Step 4

Rub the marinade generously all over the chicken, including the underside and inside the cavity.

Step 5

Slice the second lemon in half and place both halves inside the chicken cavity.

Step 6

Peel and cut the Yukon gold potatoes into quarters. Slice the red onion into thick wedges.

Step 7

Arrange the potatoes and onion wedges around the chicken in the roasting pan.

Step 8

Drizzle the vegetables with a little olive oil and lightly season with salt and pepper.

Step 9

Pour 1 cup of chicken stock into the bottom of the roasting pan to keep the chicken moist during cooking.

Step 10

Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for about 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the thickest part of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C). Baste the chicken with the pan juices every 30 minutes for extra flavor.

Step 11

If the skin starts to brown too quickly, cover the chicken loosely with aluminum foil during the final 30 minutes of cooking.

Step 12

Once done, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving.

Step 13

Sprinkle the chicken and vegetables with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Serve warm and enjoy your Greek-style roasted chicken!
