Rao's Famous Lemon Chicken

Recipe Ingredients

2		Broiling chickens - (2 1/2 to 3 lbs) - halved
1/4 cup	10g / 0.4oz	Chopped flat-leaf parsley
		Lemon Sauce
2 cups	474ml	Fresh lemon juice
1 cup	237ml	Olive oil
1 tablespoon	15ml	Red wine vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons	7.5ml	Minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon	2.5ml	Dried oregano
		Salt - to taste
		Freshly-ground black pepper - to taste

Recipe Instructions

For the 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.

Chicken: Preheat broiler at least 15 minutes prior to using. Broil chicken halves, turning once, for about 30 minutes or until skin is golden-brown and juices run clear when bird is pierced 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 (that will fit in the broiler) with sides. Pour lemon sauce over the chicken and toss to coat well. If necessary, divide sauce in half and do this in 2 batches.

Return chicken to broiler and broil for 3 minutes. Turn each piece and broil for an additional minute. Remove from broiler and portion the 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.

This recipe yields 6 servings.
