This was great! I'm always leary of using too much oregano, so I only used about 1 1/2 tsps, but this recipe was excellent! I loved the lemon flavor. I used an already cut up chicken (pick of the chix) and it still came out super. I also sprinkled some plain breadcrumbs on top of the chicken, not even enough to cover it, to give it a little added texture. I roasted for an hour covered, and then an hour uncovered, while basting it occasionally. Great and perfectly crispy skin. Even my picky 3 and 5 year olds liked it. Will definitely make again. Thanks Mary Ellen!
