Ingredients

Greek Chicken Ingredients

1 Whole chicken
1 Lemon
1/2 cup Olive oil
2 tbsp Red wine vinegar
1 tbsp Dried oregano
1 tsp Honey
1 tsp Garlic powder
1/2 tsp Paprika
Pinch of salt and pepper

Greek Potato Ingredients

5 Yellow potatoes
1/3 Lemon
1/4 cup Olive oil
1 tbsp Minced garlic
1 tbsp Dried oregano
Pinch of salt

Instructions

In a large bowl, add freshly squeezed lemon juice, olive oil, red wine vinegar, honey, dried oregano, paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Whisk the ingredients together.
Place the raw cut up chicken into the marinade making sure to cover everything in the liquid. Place in the fridge to marinade for at least 1 hour.
For the potatoes, start with pealing the skin and slicing them into quarters. Boil in them water to soften them a little, without being fork soft before they hit the grill.
Preheat the grill to 300 degrees and set for direct heat. The lower temperature is to avoid the meat from burning. Place the marinated chicken on the grill and cook until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees for the breast and 170 degrees for dark meat.
Remove the chicken off the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes.
To finish the potatoes, in a mixing bowl, add olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Mix the ingredients together. Toss the cooked potatoes in the mixture and place them in a grill pan to crisp up them up. This should take no longer than 5minutes.

Notes

Make the marinade the night before and throw it on the grill or in the oven the next day as you prepare dinner.

Use any cut of chicken or purchase pre-cut whole chicken instead of butchering it yourself.
