    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!

    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.

    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!!!❤️.

    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.

    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.

      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.

    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.

    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?
