Kota Riganati - Greek Oregano Baked Chicken

Submitted by MC Baker

"This recipe was found on greecefoods.com I haven't tried it yet, but it looks like a tasty recipe. Prep time includes marinating time overnight. The recipe may take about 2 hours, but most of that is just waiting for the oven. The only real prep is the potatoes. -Update, still haven't made this, but now I really want to! I updated the recipe to match with Reen's comments. Thanks!"

Very tasty, but seeing what Reen wrote, I added a bunch more potatoes and was glad I did! The potatoes are the star of the show here. Thanks for sharing. Made for PAC fall 09.

This recipe has quickly become one of my favorites! I have served it to company several times and every time I do, they ask for the recipe. I use extra lemon juice (1/3 cup) and add a LOT of potatoes because they taste so good! I wonder if the fat and calorie info is correct on this, because most of the oil stays in the pan and is not eaten.

I used boneless thighs so I skipped the first 1/hr cooking. I wish I had put the potatoes on the bottom - they would have soaked up the liquid. After 1 1/2 hrs, some were still a wee bit undercooked. (they were sliced thinly, too, so I am baffled.) But it was very yummy!!! Made for ZWT4.
