This Dish Mixes Greek Flavors With Southern Hospitality

This simple yet complex-tasting dish is easy to make at home. Joe Keller/TNS

This flavorful Greek chicken, recreated for the home cook, is inspired by a dish at Johnny’s Restaurant in Homewood, Alabama, where the menu reflects the chef’s Greek heritage and Alabama upbringing. It’s tender and juicy, marinated in a blend of olive oil, herbs, and lemon, and roasted to perfection.

To achieve a nice browning, roast the chicken at a relatively hot 425 degrees F and give it a blast of heat from the broiler at the end of cooking.
