The first time my Greek father-in-law made this chicken, he proudly shared the recipe with me. It's my favorite way to roast chicken.

Ingredients

1 roasting chicken (5 to 6 pounds)
4 tablespoons butter, softened, divided
15 garlic cloves, halved
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) chicken broth, divided
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup lemon juice

This was an easy recipe to make and it smelled delicious while baking. I added about 1 Tbsp. olive oil and spread it on the skin to crisp it up a little. The meat was very tender and moist. The vegetables were perfectly done too.

This was wonderful! Everyone loved it and it turned out just perfect :)

My family really liked this. I thought it was pretty good. I was disappointed the chicken which was just under 5 lbs was not thoroughly cooked, despite being in the oven for 2 hrs. The vegies were great.

This chicken was absolutely fantastic! It had such a wonderful smell while cooking and the taste exceeded my expectations. Will definitely make again. Followed the directions to a "T".
