Directions
- To attain maximum heat, preheat broiler for at least 15 minutes 2. Broil chicken halves, turning once, for about 30 minutes or until tender with a fork.
- Remove chicken from broiler, leaving broiler on. Using a very sharp knife, cut each half into about 6 pieces (Leg, thigh, wing, 3 small breast pieces).
- Place chicken on a baking sheet with sides, of a size that can fit Pour Lemon Sauce over the chicken and toss to coat well. If necessary, divide sauce in half and do this in two batches.
- Return to broiler and broil for 3 minutes. Turn each piece and broil for an additional minute.
- Remove from broiler and portion chicken onto each of 6 warm serving plates.
- Pour sauce into a heavy saucepan. Stir in parsley and place over high heat for 1 minute. Pour an equal amount of sauce over each chicken and serve with lots of crusty bread to absorb the sauce. To make lemon sauce: Whisk together juice, oil, vinegar, garlic, oregano, and salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use. Whisk or shake vigorously before using.
