Hi Gayle:-) I don't know if this is the kind of thing you are looking for but I thought that I would repost it anyway.

Kotopoulo Psito Lemonata (Classic Roasted Chicken with Lemon and Herbs)

1 medium-size chicken (3 to 4 lbs.)
1/4 c. plus 2 Tbl. olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Strained fresh juice of 2 lemons
2 tsp. dried thyme
1/2 tsp. crushed rosemary
1/2 tsp. marjoram
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
6 to 8 large oval potatoes, peeled and quartered lengthwise
Water

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.

Rub outside of chicken with 1 Tbl. olive oil and season with salt and pepper. In a bowl, combine remaining olive oil. lemon juice, thyme, rosemary, marjoram, garlic and freshly ground black pepper. Brush chicken generously with marinade.

Place chicken on rack inside a medium to large baking pan and spread potatoes evenly around pan. Pour marinade and 1 or 2 c. water (I recommend just one to start) over potatoes. Season potatoes with salt and pepper, if desired.. Place pan in hot oven and reduce heat to 350 degrees F. Bake for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, basting chicken with pan juices every 10 min., and until meat is tender. Add water to potatoes during cooking, if necessary. Remove chicken from oven as soon as it is tender.

If potatoes aren't completely cooked by the time the chicken is ready, remove the bird, turn up the oven to 450 degrees F, add water, if necessary, and roast another 15 to 20 min, or until potatoes are golden brown and tender. Serve warm. Yield: 4 servings
