This is from The Soprano's Family Cookbook, Baked Chicken with Potatoes , Lemon and Oregano.
Serves 4
2 lemons
1 chicken (about 3 & 1/2 pounds), quartered
3 potatoes, peeled and cut into wedges
1 TBSP. olive oil
1 tsp. dried oregano
2 galic cloves, chopped.
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F
Squeeze the juice from 1 lemon. Slice the other one.
Put the chicken and potatoes in a baking dish. Sprinkle with the lemon juice, oil, oregano, garlic, and salt and pepper to taste. Turn the pieces to
coat evenly, then turn the chicken skin side up. Tuck the lemon slices and potatoes in between the chicken pieces.
Bake the chicken for 45 minutes. Baste with the pan juices. Continue to bake, basting occasionally, for 15 to 30 minutes longer, or until the
chicken is browned and the potatoes are tender.
Transfer the chicken, potatoes, and lemon slices to a serving platter. Tip the pan and
skim off the fat. Pour the juices over the chicken and serve.
*********************************
I double the spices and garlic and lemon on this, it's really good. Serve with a green salad.
As Tony Soprano would say, '...not bad..'
