White House Chicken Oregano Chicken
From a community cookbook that i removed and had in a pile. it says it's from the white house. not sure what year but here it is. Note: 3-4 hrs. Marination. Can bake or grill this easy recipe.* i have another version of this recipe called chicken oregano where you just rub the spices and lemon juice on a whole chicken, about 2 1/2 lbs.,inside and out, and then place in a 7 x 10 inch baking dish with 1 cup of water and 1/2 stick of butter. bake at 400 degrees f. Until golden brown and then lower oven to 350 degrees f. And bake for about 30-40 minutes longer, basting frequently. That recipe was from katherine beeson of the azalia garden club, marion, sc. I found the recipe again as a favorite of mrs. Richard nixon from favorite recipes of our first ladies, 1971. it is called barbacued chicken in that book.
