Instructions

Preparation & Baking

  1. Wash 1 fryer chicken and pat dry. Brush with butter and season with salt and black pepper to taste, then place into a baking pan.
  2. Squeeze 1 fresh lemon juice over the fryer chicken. Sprinkle with oregano.
  3. If desired, brush peeled and cut up potatoes with butter and arrange them in the same baking pan to roast alongside the fryer chicken so they absorb the delicious lemon and chicken flavors.
  4. Bake at 325°F for 1 hour or until the chicken is cooked through, golden brown, and the juices run clear.

💡 Make-Ahead & Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F to maintain a crisp skin.
