Delicious Greek Garlic Chicken

Make this only if you are a garlic-lover, don't worry the garlic will mellow while baking, you could reduce the garlic slightly i like to use three large heads --- the one hour baking time may need to be increased slightly as you are opening your oven door to basting the chicken every 10-15, this will allow hot air to escape --- plan ahead the chicken needs to be refrigerated for 1 hour, but no more than that as the lemon will start to cook" the chicken --- you may also add in a sliced onion."

Steps

Set oven to 375f.
Grease a 17 x 12-inch baking dish.
In a bowl mix together minced fresh garlic , lemon juice , olive oil , dried oregano , black pepper and salt.
Rub the garlic mixture evenly over the chicken.
Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Place the chicken on the baking sheet cut side down in a single layer.
Bake for about 1 to 1-1 / 2 hours or until the skin is well browned and the chicken is cooked , basting with the pan juices every 15 minutes the last 30 minutes of baking time.

Skim off the fat from the drippings.
Add in 1 / 2 cup boiling water or hot chicken broth to the pan.
