Ingredients

Ingredients:
Whole chicken or chicken parts 4-5lbs
4 – 6 medium Potatoes
cup ¼ - ½Olive oil or more as needed
Juice of 1-2 Lemons approximately ½ cup
6 cloves of garlic minced
Flour as needed
salt and pepper
1 Tablespoon Greek Oregano
1 Tablespoon Chicken bouillon
1 Tablespoon Rosemary optional
1 Teaspoon Paprika optional
Most important: bread for dunking into the sauce papara

Instructions

Place whole chicken (or pre-cut legs and thighs if you prefer) in a baking dish. Coat the chicken with flour (this will make it crusty). Peel potatoes in wedges and place in pan around the chicken. Pour in the olive oil and lemon juice. Sprinkle with the salt, pepper, bouillon, garlic, rosemary, paprika and oregano. Finally add enough water to cover the ingredients half way.
Place pan in a 350 degree preheated oven and let cook for approximately 2 hours. Turn the meat and potatoes over half way through the cooking.
Cook until the chicken and potatoes are golden brown, easy to prick the fork through and the sauce has boiled down to a non-watery consistency.
