We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Mix 2 tablespoons Greek seasoning and garlic powder with melted butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Using clean hands rub the mixture on the outside of chicken. Season with inside of the chicken cavity with salt and pepper. Place the whole lemon/s inside the chicken cavity (make sure you prick the lemon/s all over with a fork first). Place the chicken in a greased roasting pan; cover and refrigerate for 24 hours or up to 48 hours.

  • Step 2: Remove the chicken frome the fridge and allow to sit for 45 minutes. Meanwhile in a bowl toss the onions and potato wedges with 2 tablespoons olive oil (or more, I use more olive oil) and 1 tablespoon Greek seasoning. Place the vegetables in the roasting pan around the chicken.

  • Step 3: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Roast chicken, potatoes and onions uncovered for 1 1/2 hours or until cooked through.

  • Step 4: Remove chicken from oven; let rest 10 minutes. Transfer vegetables to a large skillet.

  • Step 5: Cook potatoes and onions 1-2 minutes over low heat. Toss in spinach just before serving. Cook 1-2 minutes or until leaves wilt. Remove from heat; gently stir in feta and juice of one-half lemon. Season with salt and pepper. Remove vegetables to a large platter. Carve chicken and serve over vegetables.
