PK’s NoRecipe Greek Butterflied Chicken Roast
This simple butterflied chicken marinaded with thyme, oregano, garlic, salt, pepper, lemon juice and olive oil smells amazing and will wow your family and friends.
If you have time:
- chuck several good slugs of the olive oil and lemon juice into a snap lock bag.
- add the other ingredients (chopped).
- close the bag, mix everything around.
- add the chicken halves, close the bag and massage it for a bit to get the oil etc into every nook and cranny.
- leave it overnight in the fridge or at least 2 hours.
- preheat your oven to 160C and get the chicken out of the fridge.
- cook the chicken in an non-stick oven tray for about 2 hours.
If you don’t have time or forgot to marinade the chicken:
- chuck several good slugs of garlic infused olive oil and lemon juice into a bowl.
- add the other ingredients (chopped but leave out the garlic) and mix with a fork.
- preheat your oven to 160C and get the chicken out of the fridge, season with salt and pepper.
- cook the chicken in an oven tray for about 2 hours, turning and basting with the oil mixture every 15 minutes or so.
Marinaded and already looking good:
Two hours at 160C:
A perfect summer’s day dinner, just add salad and friends:

A Simple Greek Chicken Roast
This is a simple chicken roast, marinated in mix of thyme, oregano, garlic, salt, pepper, lemon juice and olive oil. It looks and smells amazing!
Here I have halved a whole chicken by cutting right down the middle. You could also butterfly it using this method.
If you have at least a 4.5 hours in advance:
- chuck several good slugs of olive oil and lemon juice into a snap lock bag.
- add into the bag a handful of chopped thyme and oregano and 1 -2 diced garlic cloves.
- also add some salt and pepper.
- close the bag and mix everything around.
- add the chicken halves, close the bag again and massage it for a bit, getting the marinade into every nook and cranny.
- leave it in the fridge for at least 2 hours (over night is better).
- preheat your oven to 160C and get the chicken out of the fridge.
- cook the chicken in an non-stick oven tray for about 2 hours.
If you don’t have time, follow this shortcut:
- chuck several good slugs of garlic infused olive oil and lemon juice into a bowl.
- add the other ingredients as above and mix with a fork.
- preheat your oven to 160C.
- massage some of the marinade into the chicken.
- cook the chicken in an oven tray for about 2 hours, turning and basting with the marinade every 30 minutes or so.
Marinated and already looking good:

DrippyStuff: Chicken Baste #1
This is the second in my posts on dry rubs and basting sauces for use when roasting meat, it works great regardless of whether you are using a BBQ or an oven. I used it recently on an oven roast chicken along with this dry rub as inspired by http://noblepig.com/.
Again, I take my hat off to the people over at Noble Pig and our own Growchow, you are indeed doing amazing work :).
You will need:
- Ingredients:
- 1/2 tsp ground rock salt
- 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar (this stuff is amazing)
- 1 Tbsp garlic infused olive oil
- 1/4 tsp tumeric powder
- 1/4 tsp beetroot powder (for colour, I make my own here)
- 2 drops of liquid smoke (mostly because a second drop fell in accidently, yum)
- Equipment:
- a small bowl for the sauce
- a fork for mixing
- a basting brush
Steps:
- Bring all the ingredients together.
- Get distracted by how amazing it looks and smells.
- Mix everything together.
- Baste your chicken.
Enjoy,
PK
