Chef’s/Cooks should always remove jewelry before using their hands to mix food. It’s gross and very unsanitary. Not to mention unnecessary bacteria can be present between the jewelry and the epidermis!🤮
Would 1 tbsp salt really be enough for that whole chicken?
Incredible
Wow. What a great recipe to add to my recipe box! Thank you!
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!
Excelent recepi, thanks .
That is not Athenian chicken.
Wow, I cooked this very easy. Delicious!
THIS IS LEMON CHICKEN.
GREEK CHICKEN IS MARINATED IN PLAIN GREEK
YOGURT. HOWEVER, YOU ARE
MAKING ME SALIVATE 😋!!!
IT LOOKS ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS 😋!!!! TQ KINDLY
FOR A LOVELY RECIPE, I CAN ALMOST SMELL IT 😋😋😋.
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!
Thx! Am going to try!
Absolutely LOVED IT 💕
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!!
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.
Salt was overkill.. followed the same recipe and used kosher salt. Marinated for about 1.5 hours and it was like eating a salt lick. I’ll dial it down to tsp next time because I’d rather have too little than too much salt. But the herbs and lemon are great.
Jasas❤
Indian chicken cury is the best
Try using barely crushed whole coriander seed (and fennel too if you like). Getting a pop of flavour every other bite is really nice.
Sea Salt …No Greek would use other salts
1 tablespoon of kosher salt is crazy. I feel like my chicken turned into a salt lick in the oven. Cut it in half
Oh My Goodness 😍😘😋❤+🕯
No Smellovision, just look at you 2 .
I think I have to make it for my love & my kidoes 😊😘😻💜 🌹🌷🌾🌿🍀🍃👌🙏

Made this today and really liked it.
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.
I’m making this tonight! I can’t wait to try this! It smells amazing! 😋
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 👌
Can't access the recipe unless I give a credit card number and sign up for a 24 day free trial. Where can I get the recipe without having to initiate a membership? Disappointed.
Woo-hoo, Birmingham!!
This looks so good, low-carb friendly too. Going to try it out this weekend.
Will make with wild rice mix instead of potatoes and use Greek yogurt instead of salt as I'm salt restriction
Instead salt can you use Greek yogurt
