  1. very good,easy to follow
     
  2. What a tasty chicken! I usually just use a dry rub, then baste with the juices, but THIS brought the chicken to a whole new level! I used a few more garlic cloves than the recipe states and I only had Oregano, but other than that, I followed the recipe pretty much as is. At first, I thought the chicken would be TOO lemony, but after sampling a taste, I found it to be just right :) Given the specific flavour profile of this chicken, I ended up making the rest of the meal around it - lemony garlic Greek potatoes, and a Greek rice pilaf ^_^ Will make this chicken again...and again, and again...!!!
     
  3. Sorry but I didn't like the chicken..... I don't know if maybe I didn't slice the lemon slices thin enough but the chicken had a bitter taste that I didn't enjoy.....it was a little bland for my taste....
     
  4. This is a rave recipe My guests Loved it! The lemon and garlic under the skin really infuses the flavor. This will be made again for sure - I used a large roasting chicken
     
  5. I combine this recipe with recipe #12709. This is the most flavorful, moist chicken you will find with just the right amount of spice. I tweak it sometimes by using garlic in the jar if I'm in a hurry. I've also put oranges instead of lemons or a lime juice/lemon juice combo. I've made this recipe three or four times now and plan to keep it a favorite. Thanks for sharing!
