Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 Whole Chicken
  • salt - 1 tsp per pound
  • 1 1/2 tbsp Greek seasoning
  • 1 Onion (medium size)
  • 3-4 Potatoes - thinly sliced (Russet or Red)
  • 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
  • 1/4 cup Olive oil
  • 1/2 Lemon - use the juice of the lemon

GREEK STYLE SEASONING

  • 3 tbsp oregano
  • 2 tbsp basil
  • 1 tbsp dill
  • 2 tbsp onion powder
  • 2 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tbsp salt
  • 1 tbsp black pepper

Instructions

  • Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and season generously with salt, in and out. This is the way to dry brine your chicken. Let it sit the refrigerator to a couple of hours or overnight.
    But it you don't have enough time, 1 hour will do.
  • Using your mandoline slicer, slice the onions and potatoes, or if you are using your knife just slice it thinly. Set aside.
  • Mix olive oil, the juice of the lemon, and garlic.
  • Add half of your olive oil/lemon mixture and 1/2 tbsp of greek seasoning to the sliced onion and potatoes. Mix to combine.
    Arrange the mixture in the pan. Set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 475 degress F.
  • Meanwhile, brush the rest of your olive oil mixture to your chicken and then rub the remaining greek seasoning to the chicken.
  • Place the chicken on top of potato and onion.
  • Place it in the oven (uncovered) and bake for 15 minutes then adjust the oven temperature to 350 degrees F and roast it for another 50 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the size of your chicken. Using a meat thermometer, insert it to the thickest part of breast, if the reading is 165 degrees then your chicken and potatoes are done.

GREEK STYLE SEASONING

  • Mix and stir together all the ingredients and store in an airtight container.
