Chicken Lemone

This recipe was given to me by a chef in a chicago restaurant and i cant believe i dont remember which one. but it is just great! preparation/cooking time does not include marination time of 2 hours.

Steps

Thoroughly wash and dry all chicken pieces.
Cut 2 lemons into round slices.
Salt and pepper chicken on both sides.
Place chicken meat side up in a glass casserole dish.
Mix oil , lemon juice , parsley.
Pour over chicken.
Sprinkle some oregano all over chicken and refrigerate for about an hour.
Turn the chicken over and sprinkle more oregano on top then refrigerate for about another hour.
After the chicken marinates for a while place under the broiler for about 20 minutes.
Turn chicken around and broil for about another 20 minutes while basting with the oil and juice mixture.
Top with lemon slices.
Towards the end watch carefully and try and get the skin of the chicken a nice crisp blackened look to it.
Not burned but just enough to give it a great flavor.
