This would have been a 5-star recipe for sure if the measurements had been consistent from the ingredients to the directions. It calls for 3 teaspoons of oregano, but in the directions it totals 3 Tablespoons -- I believe the 3 teaspoons was correct. It also calls for 1 Tablespoon of minced garlic, but only tells you what to do with 1/2 teaspoon in the directions. I was lost there -- so just minced up a Tablespoon and put it on the chicken and potatoes both. My husband and I both loved this recipe -- there was plenty of butter with that poured on the potatoes so we basted the chicken every 15 minutes with that butter instead of adding the other 1/4 cup. Thanks so much for this recipe -- I hope I make the right corrections and I hope others try it. Thanks for sharing!! Blessings :)
