Method
SERVINGS: 4. COOKING TIME: 1 Hour.
- Cut the chicken into pieces and wash. Add to a big bowl and sprinkle lemon juice on top. Dust with oregano, salt, and pepper, add garlic and bay leaves, and toss well. Cover and marinate for 12 hours.
-
When it's time to cook, preheat oven to 375° F (190° C)

-
Remove bay leaves, place the chicken in a rectangular oven safe dish (we used a 9-inch by 14-inch), with the slivered peppers and olives.
- Add a few tablespoons of the marinade liquid (discard the rest) and 2 Tbsp olive oil to the pan. Place the lemon slices on top and bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour, flipping chicken over at about halfway through the cooking time,
-
The last 3-4 minutes, turn chicken over again (skin side up) and broil on low until nice and golden.
- To serve, place chicken on a pretty serving platter, pour juices from the pan on top and evenly distribute the red peppers, olives, and lemon slices.
