Tonight's dinner will take you to the sunny shores of Greece with every savory bite of Kotopoulo Kleftiko.

1

Preheat your oven to 160 degrees Celsius (320 degrees Fahrenheit).

2

In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, oregano, juice of the lemon, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.

3

Add the chicken pieces to the marinade and ensure they are evenly coated. Let it marinate for at least 1 hour, or overnight if possible.

4

While the chicken is marinating, peel and chop the potatoes and carrot into large chunks, and chop the onion.

5

Once the chicken is marinated, in a large baking dish, place the chicken in the center and surround it with the potatoes, carrot, and onion.

6

Sprinkle minced garlic on top, and drizzle any remaining marinade over the dish.

7

Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil to retain moisture and bake in the oven for about 1.5 hours.

8

After 1.5 hours, remove the foil and bake for an additional 30 minutes to produce a crisp, golden skin.

9

Once cooked through and all vegetables are tender, remove from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.
