"A simple oven baked dish that I modified to reduce the fat by half. Using skinless chicken would reduce the fat even more, but we prefer it with skin on for this dish. Try it with a steamed green vegetable or a vegetable salad."

Step 1
Rinse and dry the chicken and trim any excess fat. Place in rimmed pan large enough that the pieces are separated. A low rim ensures even cooking.
Step 2
Combine the olive oil, butter, lemon pepper seasoning, and lemon juice. Brush both sides of the chicken pieces with seasoned oil/butter mixture.
Step 3
Sprinkle both sides generously with oregano.
Step 4
Bake at 350 degrees for 45-55 minutes. Less time will be needed for pieces than for halves of a chicken, so adjust the time accordingly.
