WOW! I made this tonight just using meaty chicken thighs (9 count). I didn't have fresh herbs but desperately wanted to try this since I had the thighs -- so I used about 1T of dried thyme (crushed) and 3/4 T of dried rosemary (crushed a bit, as well). I used less dried rosemary since it can impart a bit of perfume-like flavor to some palates (this turned out to be a wise choice). I let those 2 herbs sit in the required EVOO amount first to release their flavors...then followed the rest of the directions. Looking at the video again, I realize i forgot to add the lemon juice to the au jus, but I had added a pat of butter. It still turned out FANTASIC. Tasty and pretty enough for company. I will probably drain the juices tomorrow and add the lemon juice once heated up...to get the full flavor of your recipe. Thank you for sharing! I love American Test Kitchen!
Just got back from Greece and loved the food there.
In the dog days of summer I love to make this or something similar early in the morning before it gets really hot and serve it as a cold supper with a Panzanella salad (I can bake croutons with alongside the chicken) and some chilled wine.
Im coming to your house!!!!! 😍
Love it Will make looks easy love your show
That sounds so good!
This was THE best chicken we’ve ever, ever had. I’m a foodie/home chef and I swear that I’ve never tasted any chicken so good. Amazing!!
Absolutely agree! This recipe is on permanent rotation at our house.
This is a great way to make chicken for a large group using legs or thighs… they never disappoint and are quite economical
Or as we call in Greece...chicken. The recipe is pretty accurate too. We usually use a baking dish instead of a skillet, and add potatoes to cook in the same jus.
That's what I was planning on doing
Hahahaha love that comment 😅🤣😂
Potatoes are a game-changer for this dish!
Potatoes, parsnips, and carrots.
You probably use a baking dish so you don't burn yourself on the handle of the skillet after you take it out of the oven, which is DEFINITELY a better outcome ... :D
I've made this so many times and it remains THE most delicious presentation of chicken I can muster.
Yum I’m making it
I cook a lot and consider myself a fairly good cook. This chicken was off the charts good. I cooked it in a cast iron skillet in my oven. I rarely eat more than one small piece of any chicken dish I make, but last night, my partner and I ate almost the entire chicken, it was THAT good, very easy and quick. This one is a keeper. Thanks!!!❤️.
Love it - going to do it on a cast iron skillet too
The lemon and chicken dish combination is so delicious. Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe. I love you guys! 😘😘
I made this and it was so flavorful. Thank you so much 😊
Delicious, simple dish. Thank you! I just made it. It came out FAB!
I have made it a few times. Good. The marinade and herbs would be nice as a simple pasta sauce, maybe with some cooked chicken leftover meat tossed in.
Taste so good and perfect blend of lemon and garlic with herbs and spices.
OMGoodness - that looks fantastic! My mouth is watering! I can't wait to try it!
That is a great marinade that can be used for any way you want to cook chicken. I use a similar one to make chicken brochettes on my Foreman grill or to cook just a smaller amount of chicken parts for one or two people in the oven. For my brochettes, I will serve them with a salad with a lemon juice, olive oil, white wine vinegar dressing and some fresh tzatziki on the side. So refreshing and quick on a hot summer day.
Amazing. Made this yesterday with fresh herbs from my garden. Everyone love it. Easy too
Hello
How you doing today !
Super simple to make, but turned out really well.. Kids loved it. thanks for this.
Thank you for posting this Greek chicken recipe which is one of my favorites but now I can't wait to cook my own at home
If loving this chicken is wrong, I never want to be right. OMG. It’s SO GOOD!
Super easy, even the breaking down a chicken.
I served with fluffy white rice & sautéd whole snap peas.
I made it yesterday and it was so good and easy to make. This is going to be a repeat. A winner!
TY for sharing this recipe! My daughter loves Greek dishes and especially the seasoning and cheeses . He was very educational and interesting
Wow. What a great recipe to add to my recipe box! Thank you!
OMG that looks so yummy, I'll definitely try this, thank you.
That was off the hook bangin! I already make a dish very similar to this but take the pan juices and cook on stove to slightly reduce abd add a little heavy cream and lemon juice and when coated on spoon i spoon over the chicken. An old Greek mother of the owners of a Greek restaurant I worked at taught me the dish. They loved me and fed me and I ate with them at the back of the house because I have a passion for greek food! I can describe a dish that will make you salivate and thats why I was able to upsell so much, lol.
Oh! That sounds delicious!
This is our absolute favorite chicken dish. I've changed it a bit....I use boneless/skinless chicken thighs and add capers and bake in a cast iron skillet. It's always wonderful!
That sounds awesome. Iron skillet is ideal for oven cooking.
Have made it several times. Best recipe I ever got from ATK. Truly outstanding!
Love watching cooks country episodes
cooked it....absolutely FANTASTIC !!
Made it several times. The recipe is absolutely delicious.
I’m making this tonight! I can’t wait to try this! It smells amazing! 😋
Made yesterday and it was absolutely 💯 delicious!! Thank you!!!
Hello how you doing today !
Looks easy & so yummy! Will definitely try
Hi! I can't wait to try this Greek Chicken recipe! Thanks for sharing it!
That recipe looks absolutely delicious. As we come to the end of summer I still want fresh herbs and the pop citrus gives but moving into cooler temps, rainy weather I start to crave comfort food. This is it, the perfect transition into fall. Thanks!
Hello how you doing today?
This *really* is the best Greek Chicken! It's in my regular rotation, thanks to Cook's Country!
So easy to prepare....and can't wait to serve and eat it!❤️
Made this on this week, delicious and easy to make!
Unbelievable how good this looks, wow.
We will absolutely try this recipe…..love Greek chicken! Yum!!!
Try using barely crushed whole coriander seed (and fennel too if you like). Getting a pop of flavour every other bite is really nice.
Literally trying that now, just waiting for the oven to preheat. So far I've learned that breaking down a whole chicken is way harder than it looks but let's hope the crushed coriander works like you hope.
Try it yourself!🤣
Wow, I cooked this very easy. Delicious!
Made this today and really liked it.
I grow lemon thyme in my garden. I'm going to try this recipe with it. I can almost smell it now! Thanks for sharing this!
@@mseanmckenziegmail Thanks for that great idea!
I have always scored my chicken, always shocked that TV chefs don’t. It lets in so much flavour 🥰
Also evens it for cooking time unless you pound the breasts or pound them
A local joint, Pizza Villa, does an outstanding Greek chicken. You order the pilaf as the side. It's served with lemon potato wedges, but the pilaf is cooked with chicken livers and gizzards. The flavor is so rich, it's unstoppable.:)
This is my favorite RUclips station. Awesome hosts and recipes 👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you! I will make this tomorrow.
Yum looks delicious! Will be trying this.
Hello
How you doing today?
Cooked it with my air fryer, it came out great
I made this chicken today using your recipe and cooking methods. My husband and I agree that this is the best chicken I have ever made. It is unbelievably good. We felt like we were eating in a gourmet restaurant. Thank you so much for this.
This was absolutely delicious. I only had dried herbs on hand and I included the juice of the lemon as well as the zest in the marinade. I also cooked it stove top instead of in the oven. Oh my goodness, what beautiful flavor. Hubby raved about it. I will definitely be doing this one again and again.
Did you pant fry it with boneless skinless breasts? That’s how I would like to do it, but I want to hear others’ experiences first.
Absolutely LOVED IT 💕
Look yummy.....It is easy to cook......thanks to share this video...
That is a great chicken. Rarely cook the same thing twice, but will do this again. Easy and delicious. Cooked in in a baking dish with potatoes like others suggested it. Omg! Very satisfying meal!
A childhood favorite 😋 Fast &easy to make 👍
Great video! Great ideas. Thanks.
Wow! Amazing. Definitely going in monthly rotation over a sheet pan of marinated veggies Thanks!
Will you use the same marinade?
I love America's test kitchen and even more a huge fan of Bridget Lancaster, she is drop dead gorgeous 😍😍
My mouth is watering! I gotta try this one.
Hello how you doing today
Excelent recepi, thanks .
It is a very good recipe. Delicious. I added some potatoes in the pan As suggested in a comment. I like this website not only for the excellents recipes but also because I learn always a method and improve the results 😋 !
I’ve watched this video 5 times and each time I want to eat all of it myself! I’m doing it ….. watch out world!!!
Thx! Am going to try!
TY easy, delish...More / mas por favor!!!
Thanks , It was so delicious..
This looks so good, low-carb friendly too. Going to try it out this weekend.
Definitely making this for my best friend soon.
Ditto - it's his birthday next week - will spend the morning out and about - mid-day go grocery shopping - dinner at home 😊
Made this , included potatoes, my family loved it, to make it from now on, loved the zing of the lemon juice I squeezed in
Love, love, love your show and recipes. This is on my list to make.
The two of you seem like my old friends. Always turn to you for great recipes.
Julia and Brian are the best cooking duo.
I was going to comment the same thing. I love the two of them together😍
I want this on a bed of plain orzo! Yum....
This most be very tasty. No risk of failing on this one!
I have made this recipe, in fact having my sister over for dinner tonight and this is what I’m serving. Going to make some white rice and seared zucchini and a salad. Yum. It’s really delicious. Oh and only using chicken thighs.
You guys are great 🎉🎉
Looks great👍
This isn’t exactly a Greek recipe, it’s actually Lebanese as told by my Greek grandmother who told me about the Levantine kitchen’s influence on Greek cooking. ( Levantine refers to Lebanon & Syria). Their gastronomy has also influenced Italian food ( read Diluca Gavoni’s Mangiamo Arabo Senza Saperlo-we eat Arabic food without knowing it)
شو البهارات اللي حطها
@@intisarjasem7961 their comment???? is in english sweetheart!!!
Interesting history! I love learning about the roots and origins. Thank you.
Thank you for the book suggestion 👏👏👏💋🍷
This is a good observation. Many of the Greek and Lebanese arrived in Birmingham at the same time, and they were mostly forced to live in the same neighborhoods. Over the last 100 years, it's resulted in a mix of cooking styles that are an integral part of the city's cuisine.
Thank you!
Oooo i so want to taste that
Looks delicious
I wish I could post up a Denzel "my man" meme cause you deserve it Bryan
I've always wanted to get those type of stoves with the rolling shelves in the oven. Which brand are those?
This sounds wonderful. Trying it tonight for friends. I'll let you know how they like it. Going to add some fresh feta cheese and fresh chopped parsley on top 👌
When I don't have time to marinate I put everything in a FoodSaver bag and vacuum seal it. It makes a huge difference! I used to score my chicken.
This looks beautiful.
That's so delicious, amazing
I couldn’t wait to make this dish…it was very tasty and found using a tbsp of Kosher salt was a little too salty. I did follow the recipe instructions and marinated the chicken for 1 1/2 hrs. The next I make this I will cut back on the salt and I also prefer the fresh herbs to be chopped a little more finely. The chicken went really well with Yukon Gold potatoes and buttered fresh green beans.
Did you use course salt?
wheww! girl ..slap sumbidys moma!! that meal is put together and it sounds gooood!
Spot on Adlib
..you made a great Recipe, even more fabulous 😍
@@journeyandjoyCould be a different brand of kosher salt too, in a video from a while ago they said they usually use Diamond Crystal kosher salt. If you are using Morton kosher you need to decrease the volume by 25% as the flakes are different sizes.
Great place to get a great meal!
Fabulous!
I made this chicken and it was delicious, juicy and very easy.
Can't wait to taste it..
I love watching ur cooking channel
I'm greek I love cooking /some baking
But.. you guys are awesome 👌 👏 👍
I loved the eggplant 🍆 parm
This chef 👨🍳 made.
I made it,and my kids and family loooved it.
Thank you
I have a question…Bryan said not to marinate for more than 2 hours, because it would be too salty. But the chicken wasn’t rinsed off after marinating (which makes sense), and the rest of the marinade was poured on during cooking. So wouldn’t it be just as salty as if it marinated longer, say overnight?
exactly what I was thinking.
The female walking in the background at the end of the video is absolutely perfect LOL you made her famous
Your chicken looks delicious. I will definitely try that.
Brian went from Mr Crispy in previous episode to Mr. Marinade in this one....very nice!!
Incredible
No Rosemary. Greek chicken is extremely simple and uses garlic thyme and oregano. Lots of lemon! :-)
Why no Rosemary? It seems very Greek
@@arribaficationwineho32 Use rosemary if you want. As far as I know, rosemary is used a lot in Greek recipes but then I'm not Greek. Brian could have also just adjusted an original Greek recipe. Great cooks do it all the time.
That Bryan Roof is a treasure
