  5. 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!

  9. 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 😋😋😋.

  10. 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!

  14. 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.

  15. 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.

  22. ## Ingredients ##

    2 tbsp fresh, chopped thyme

    2 tbsp fresh, chopped rosemary

    lemon zest from 1 lemon (6 strips chopped)

    5 cloves garlic

    1/4 cup olive oil

    1 tbsp salt

    1.5 tsp dry oregano

    1 tsp coriander

    .5 tsp red pepper

    .5 tsp black pepper

    3 lbs chicken

    ## Recipe ##

    1) Add fresh herbs, dry herbs/spices, olive oil, garlic and lemon zest to bowl and combine

    2) Make deep slashes on chicken skin and add chicken pieces to marinade, let marinate 30 mins to 2 hrs

    3) Add chicken and excess marinade to oven proof skillet

    4) Bake chicken ~ 30 mins at 425 degrees until chicken is up to temp

    5) baste chicken and broil ~ 3mins until chicken browns
    6) add tablespoon lemon juice to pan juices to complete pan sauce

  24. 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.

  27. 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.
