A flavorful and aromatic Greek-inspired roasted chicken dish, perfect for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated before placing the chicken inside for even cooking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the minced garlic, juice of the lemon, olive oil, dried oregano, black pepper, and salt.
Mix the marinade thoroughly to ensure the flavors are well combined.
Rub the marinade all over the chicken, ensuring it is evenly coated.
For best results, let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Place the chicken in a baking dish, breast side up.
Use a baking dish that fits the chicken snugly to retain the juices.
Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, basting with its juices every 20 minutes.
Basting helps keep the chicken moist and enhances the flavor.
Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a serving platter and let it rest for 10 minutes.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, making the chicken more tender.
Add the chicken broth to the baking dish and stir to deglaze the pan, creating a flavorful sauce.
Scrape the bottom of the dish to incorporate all the browned bits into the sauce.
Drizzle the sauce over the chicken and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Serve immediately for the best flavor and presentation.
