You have to use the marinade to MARINADE the chicken. Just pouring it over before it goes in the oven is almost pointless. Marinade the chicken for up to 24 hours, and also give your potatoes some colour in some olive oil in a frying pan, pour it into the oven tray, place the marinaded chicken on top and then pour the marinade all over. Cover with tin foil and allow to cook at 200 degrees celsius for about 45 minutes. I usually save half of the marinade so when removing the tin foil, I pour the the rest of the marinade over the chicken pieces, place back into the oven and cook for a further 30 mins or so. That way, you'll get a beautiful crust on the chicken but also the chicken will have been properly been tenderised in the marinade and the potatoes will also suck up the flavours of the marinade. For the marinade, you usually use lemon juice, lemon rind, olive oil, water, a chicken stock, some honey, some mustard, and then plenty of fresh thyme and dried oregano and a 3-4 cloves of garlic.
An authentic Greek recipe from a Greek grandmother! Can't wait to try it! Thank you! : )

What recipe?
Great recipe but you gave no amounts measures & time which you pretty much need to make, don’t ya’ think.😉
Momonoski a real cook doesn’t need measurement. Don’t ya think?
Brynndeil Llonillo Not when cooking a recipe for the first time, of course you need actual measurements & time.
The music competes way too much, couldnt watch.
