Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, fresh oregano, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well blended.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Add the halved chicken to the marinade, ensuring it is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for best flavor.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

  4. 4

    Bake the Chicken

    Place the marinated chicken on a roasting pan, skin side up. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the skin is golden brown.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
