WOW! I made this tonight just using meaty chicken thighs (9 count). I didn't have fresh herbs but desperately wanted to try this since I had the thighs -- so I used about 1T of dried thyme (crushed) and 3/4 T of dried rosemary (crushed a bit, as well). I used less dried rosemary since it can impart a bit of perfume-like flavor to some palates (this turned out to be a wise choice). I let those 2 herbs sit in the required EVOO amount first to release their flavors...then followed the rest of the directions. Looking at the video again, I realize i forgot to add the lemon juice to the au jus, but I had added a pat of butter. It still turned out FANTASIC. Tasty and pretty enough for company. I will probably drain the juices tomorrow and add the lemon juice once heated up...to get the full flavor of your recipe. Thank you for sharing! I love American Test Kitchen!

[@melissawolf215]

This was THE best chicken we’ve ever, ever had. I’m a foodie/home chef and I swear that I’ve never tasted any chicken so good. Amazing!!

[@niftykaffeine67]

Absolutely agree! This recipe is on permanent rotation at our house.

[@katc2345]

That was off the hook bangin! I already make a dish very similar to this but take the pan juices and cook on stove to slightly reduce abd add a little heavy cream and lemon juice and when coated on spoon i spoon over the chicken. An old Greek mother of the owners of a Greek restaurant I worked at taught me the dish. They loved me and fed me and I ate with them at the back of the house because I have a passion for greek food! I can describe a dish that will make you salivate and thats why I was able to upsell so much, lol.

[@berthaz2583]

Oh! That sounds delicious!

[@benhuffman4404]

I've made this so many times and it remains THE most delicious presentation of chicken I can muster.

[@Sbannmarie298]

Yum I’m making it

[@BrianandLesliesMommy]

I cook a lot and consider myself a fairly good cook. This chicken was off the charts good. I cooked it in a cast iron skillet in my oven. I rarely eat more than one small piece of any chicken dish I make, but last night, my partner and I ate almost the entire chicken, it was THAT good, very easy and quick. This one is a keeper. Thanks!!!❤️.

[@Sbannmarie298]

Love it - going to do it on a cast iron skillet too

[@1983mojo1]

Just got back from Greece and loved the food there.

[@matthewcook4512]

If loving this chicken is wrong, I never want to be right. OMG. It’s SO GOOD! Super easy, even the breaking down a chicken. I served with fluffy white rice & sautéd whole snap peas.

[@carancook1481]

This is our absolute favorite chicken dish. I've changed it a bit....I use boneless/skinless chicken thighs and add capers and bake in a cast iron skillet. It's always wonderful!

[@ggs7288]

That sounds awesome. Iron skillet is ideal for oven cooking.

[@emilybilbow4990]

This is a great way to make chicken for a large group using legs or thighs… they never disappoint and are quite economical

[@dublinjazz1]

This was absolutely delicious. I only had dried herbs on hand and I included the juice of the lemon as well as the zest in the marinade. I also cooked it stove top instead of in the oven. Oh my goodness, what beautiful flavor. Hubby raved about it. I will definitely be doing this one again and again.

[@sciencelabvideosl7558]

Did you pant fry it with boneless skinless breasts? That’s how I would like to do it, but I want to hear others’ experiences first.

[@blbtx45]

Taste so good and perfect blend of lemon and garlic with herbs and spices.

[@Katsem]

I have made it a few times. Good. The marinade and herbs would be nice as a simple pasta sauce, maybe with some cooked chicken leftover meat tossed in.

[@barcham]

That is a great marinade that can be used for any way you want to cook chicken. I use a similar one to make chicken brochettes on my Foreman grill or to cook just a smaller amount of chicken parts for one or two people in the oven. For my brochettes, I will serve them with a salad with a lemon juice, olive oil, white wine vinegar dressing and some fresh tzatziki on the side. So refreshing and quick on a hot summer day.

[@getoffmydarnlawn]

In the dog days of summer I love to make this or something similar early in the morning before it gets really hot and serve it as a cold supper with a Panzanella salad (I can bake croutons with alongside the chicken) and some chilled wine.

Amazing. Made this yesterday with fresh herbs from my garden. Everyone love it. Easy too

[@derricknelson8160]

Hello How you doing today !

[@jasonbean5582]

A local joint, Pizza Villa, does an outstanding Greek chicken. You order the pilaf as the side. It's served with lemon potato wedges, but the pilaf is cooked with chicken livers and gizzards. The flavor is so rich, it's unstoppable.:)

[@kathleensmith8365]

That recipe looks absolutely delicious. As we come to the end of summer I still want fresh herbs and the pop citrus gives but moving into cooler temps, rainy weather I start to crave comfort food. This is it, the perfect transition into fall. Thanks!

[@derricknelson8160]

[@cindymullins6928]

Love watching cooks country episodes

[@modivin]

Or as we call in Greece...chicken. The recipe is pretty accurate too. We usually use a baking dish instead of a skillet, and add potatoes to cook in the same jus.

[@annaraime3288]

That's what I was planning on doing

[@tigerz8174]

Hahahaha love that comment 😅🤣😂

[@girlnextdoorgrooming]

Potatoes are a game-changer for this dish!

[@benhuffman4404]

Potatoes, parsnips, and carrots.

[@busydadscooking001]

You probably use a baking dish so you don't burn yourself on the handle of the skillet after you take it out of the oven, which is DEFINITELY a better outcome ... :D

Made it several times. The recipe is absolutely delicious.

[@vickihandel3620]

TY for sharing this recipe! My daughter loves Greek dishes and especially the seasoning and cheeses . He was very educational and interesting

[@adamthemute]

Try using barely crushed whole coriander seed (and fennel too if you like). Getting a pop of flavour every other bite is really nice.

[@Aaron-kj8dv]

Literally trying that now, just waiting for the oven to preheat. So far I've learned that breaking down a whole chicken is way harder than it looks but let's hope the crushed coriander works like you hope.

Thank you for posting this Greek chicken recipe which is one of my favorites but now I can't wait to cook my own at home

[@lisawalter9906]

This is really good..I've never noticed it getting too salty with longer marination...in my house we like all chicken legs, and I put a layer of 1-inch-thick potato planks in the bottom of the pan to soak up all those delicious juices. Then you got a party! Salad on the side and you're done.

[@johnjones1559]

I love America's test kitchen and even more a huge fan of Bridget Lancaster, she is drop dead gorgeous 😍😍

[@wendynovack8150]

I have a question…Bryan said not to marinate for more than 2 hours, because it would be too salty. But the chicken wasn’t rinsed off after marinating (which makes sense), and the rest of the marinade was poured on during cooking. So wouldn’t it be just as salty as if it marinated longer, say overnight?

[@craigb2279]

exactly what I was thinking.

Unbelievable how good this looks, wow.

I've always wanted to get those type of stoves with the rolling shelves in the oven. Which brand are those?

[@merryhunt9153]

You guys and your fresh herbs. Where I live, it's too cold for herbs to grow for six months of the year, and too hot for three months of the year. They're expensive to buy, and the chi-chi stores have stopped carrying them because nobody bothers.

[@gremlin60]

Oooo i so want to taste that

[@GrotrianSeiler]

Great video! Great ideas. Thanks.

[@Shopgirl49]

I couldn’t wait to make this dish…it was very tasty and found using a tbsp of Kosher salt was a little too salty. I did follow the recipe instructions and marinated the chicken for 1 1/2 hrs. The next I make this I will cut back on the salt and I also prefer the fresh herbs to be chopped a little more finely. The chicken went really well with Yukon Gold potatoes and buttered fresh green beans.

[@Hey_Ruthie]

Did you use course salt?

Spot on Adlib ..you made a great Recipe, even more fabulous 😍

[@ThreeDee912]

@@Hey_Ruthie​​⁠Could be a different brand of kosher salt too, in a video from a while ago they said they usually use Diamond Crystal kosher salt. If you are using Morton kosher you need to decrease the volume by 25% as the flakes are different sizes.

Wonder if this could be adapted to the Charcoal Grill. Do the same thing with the pan on the grill and then direct on grill grate at the end? Not sure if anyone has tried that?

[@parists5455]

Of course man, if you have charcoal grill it will taste even better. We always do that in Greece when we can (and everywhere I suppose, it's no secret). You may have to adapt the times of grilling and watch it as it cooks.
