Greek Roasted Chicken With Potatoes, A Thrifty Meal

Did you know that the average American eats about 80 pounds of chicken each year? That is not surprising because chicken can be prepared in so many delicious ways. Roasting chicken is very easy to do and it tastes great. There are endless variations of spices and seasoning for roasted chicken, and it is economical too. My chicken cost about $5 and along with the potatoes, fed 5 people. You could add a green vegetable to this meal to make it stretch further. This recipe has a Greek flair with oregano and lemon and is served with roasted potatoes. I hope you enjoy it!

Roasted Garlic Chicken Recipe
The trick to this tender, succulent roast chicken is the overnight brining. We usually roast chickens breast side down to ensure tender breast meat. But with the overnight brining in a roasted garlic and lemon juice marinade, the breast meat was perfectly moist, even cooked breast up. The garlic flavor is subtle, not strong or overwhelming, due to roasting the garlic first.
