Just got back from Greece and loved the food there.

This is a great way to make chicken for a large group using legs or thighs… they never disappoint and are quite economical

WOW! I made this tonight just using meaty chicken thighs (9 count). I didn't have fresh herbs but desperately wanted to try this since I had the thighs -- so I used about 1T of dried thyme (crushed) and 3/4 T of dried rosemary (crushed a bit, as well). I used less dried rosemary since it can impart a bit of perfume-like flavor to some palates (this turned out to be a wise choice). I let those 2 herbs sit in the required EVOO amount first to release their flavors...then followed the rest of the directions. Looking at the video again, I realize i forgot to add the lemon juice to the au jus, but I had added a pat of butter. It still turned out FANTASIC. Tasty and pretty enough for company. I will probably drain the juices tomorrow and add the lemon juice once heated up...to get the full flavor of your recipe. Thank you for sharing! I love American Test Kitchen!

Or as we call in Greece...chicken. The recipe is pretty accurate too. We usually use a baking dish instead of a skillet, and add potatoes to cook in the same jus.

In the dog days of summer I love to make this or something similar early in the morning before it gets really hot and serve it as a cold supper with a Panzanella salad (I can bake croutons with alongside the chicken) and some chilled wine.

This was THE best chicken we’ve ever, ever had. I’m a foodie/home chef and I swear that I’ve never tasted any chicken so good. Amazing!!

That is a great marinade that can be used for any way you want to cook chicken. I use a similar one to make chicken brochettes on my Foreman grill or to cook just a smaller amount of chicken parts for one or two people in the oven. For my brochettes, I will serve them with a salad with a lemon juice, olive oil, white wine vinegar dressing and some fresh tzatziki on the side. So refreshing and quick on a hot summer day.

I cook a lot and consider myself a fairly good cook. This chicken was off the charts good. I cooked it in a cast iron skillet in my oven. I rarely eat more than one small piece of any chicken dish I make, but last night, my partner and I ate almost the entire chicken, it was THAT good, very easy and quick. This one is a keeper. Thanks!!!❤️.

The lemon and chicken dish combination is so delicious. Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe. I love you guys! 😘😘

I made this and it was so flavorful. Thank you so much 😊

Taste so good and perfect blend of lemon and garlic with herbs and spices.

OMGoodness - that looks fantastic! My mouth is watering! I can't wait to try it!

I have made it a few times. Good. The marinade and herbs would be nice as a simple pasta sauce, maybe with some cooked chicken leftover meat tossed in.

Delicious, simple dish. Thank you! I just made it. It came out FAB!

That was off the hook bangin! I already make a dish very similar to this but take the pan juices and cook on stove to slightly reduce abd add a little heavy cream and lemon juice and when coated on spoon i spoon over the chicken. An old Greek mother of the owners of a Greek restaurant I worked at taught me the dish. They loved me and fed me and I ate with them at the back of the house because I have a passion for greek food! I can describe a dish that will make you salivate and thats why I was able to upsell so much, lol.

If loving this chicken is wrong, I never want to be right. OMG. It’s SO GOOD! Super easy, even the breaking down a chicken. I served with fluffy white rice & sautéd whole snap peas.

Have made it several times. Best recipe I ever got from ATK. Truly outstanding!

I made it yesterday and it was so good and easy to make. This is going to be a repeat. A winner!

Love watching cooks country episodes

Thank you for posting this Greek chicken recipe which is one of my favorites but now I can't wait to cook my own at home

I've made this so many times and it remains THE most delicious presentation of chicken I can muster.

This *really* is the best Greek Chicken! It's in my regular rotation, thanks to Cook's Country!

I love America's test kitchen and even more a huge fan of Bridget Lancaster, she is drop dead gorgeous 😍😍

Amazing. Made this yesterday with fresh herbs from my garden. Everyone love it. Easy too

TY for sharing this recipe! My daughter loves Greek dishes and especially the seasoning and cheeses . He was very educational and interesting

Hi! I can't wait to try this Greek Chicken recipe! Thanks for sharing it!

This is our absolute favorite chicken dish. I've changed it a bit....I use boneless/skinless chicken thighs and add capers and bake in a cast iron skillet. It's always wonderful!

Made it several times. The recipe is absolutely delicious.

Unbelievable how good this looks, wow.

Made this on this week, delicious and easy to make!

We will absolutely try this recipe…..love Greek chicken! Yum!!!

Absolutely LOVED IT 💕

Great video! Great ideas. Thanks.

Made yesterday and it was absolutely 💯 delicious!! Thank you!!!

That recipe looks absolutely delicious. As we come to the end of summer I still want fresh herbs and the pop citrus gives but moving into cooler temps, rainy weather I start to crave comfort food. This is it, the perfect transition into fall. Thanks!

Made this today and really liked it.

Wow, I cooked this very easy. Delicious!

Look yummy.....It is easy to cook......thanks to share this video...

That is a great chicken. Rarely cook the same thing twice, but will do this again. Easy and delicious. Cooked in in a baking dish with potatoes like others suggested it. Omg! Very satisfying meal!

A childhood favorite 😋 Fast &easy to make 👍

TY easy, delish...More / mas por favor!!!

Try using barely crushed whole coriander seed (and fennel too if you like). Getting a pop of flavour every other bite is really nice.

Thank you! I will make this tomorrow.

Cooked it with my air fryer, it came out great

Thx! Am going to try!

Yum looks delicious! Will be trying this.

A local joint, Pizza Villa, does an outstanding Greek chicken. You order the pilaf as the side. It's served with lemon potato wedges, but the pilaf is cooked with chicken livers and gizzards. The flavor is so rich, it's unstoppable.:)

Thanks , It was so delicious..

Julia and Brian are the best cooking duo.

I have always scored my chicken, always shocked that TV chefs don’t. It lets in so much flavour 🥰

I grow lemon thyme in my garden. I'm going to try this recipe with it. I can almost smell it now! Thanks for sharing this!

Love, love, love your show and recipes. This is on my list to make.

I’ve watched this video 5 times and each time I want to eat all of it myself! I’m doing it ….. watch out world!!!

This was absolutely delicious. I only had dried herbs on hand and I included the juice of the lemon as well as the zest in the marinade. I also cooked it stove top instead of in the oven. Oh my goodness, what beautiful flavor. Hubby raved about it. I will definitely be doing this one again and again.

I made this chicken today using your recipe and cooking methods. My husband and I agree that this is the best chicken I have ever made. It is unbelievably good. We felt like we were eating in a gourmet restaurant. Thank you so much for this.

It is a very good recipe. Delicious. I added some potatoes in the pan As suggested in a comment. I like this website not only for the excellents recipes but also because I learn always a method and improve the results 😋 !

Made this , included potatoes, my family loved it, to make it from now on, loved the zing of the lemon juice I squeezed in

My mouth is watering! I gotta try this one.

You guys are great 🎉🎉

This looks so good, low-carb friendly too. Going to try it out this weekend.

Oooo i so want to taste that

Looks great👍

I want this on a bed of plain orzo! Yum....

Can't wait to taste it..

Looks delicious

Wow! Amazing. Definitely going in monthly rotation over a sheet pan of marinated veggies Thanks!

This looks beautiful.

I have made this recipe, in fact having my sister over for dinner tonight and this is what I’m serving. Going to make some white rice and seared zucchini and a salad. Yum. It’s really delicious. Oh and only using chicken thighs.

Great place to get a great meal!

The two of you seem like my old friends. Always turn to you for great recipes.

Thank you!

This most be very tasty. No risk of failing on this one!

This is my favorite KZfaq station. Awesome hosts and recipes 👍👍👍👍👍

Fabulous!

That's so delicious, amazing

Definitely making this for my best friend soon.

Incredible

I’m Greek and I can say this recipe is spot on

This sounds wonderful. Trying it tonight for friends. I'll let you know how they like it. Going to add some fresh feta cheese and fresh chopped parsley on top 👌

This isn’t exactly a Greek recipe, it’s actually Lebanese as told by my Greek grandmother who told me about the Levantine kitchen’s influence on Greek cooking. ( Levantine refers to Lebanon & Syria). Their gastronomy has also influenced Italian food ( read Diluca Gavoni’s Mangiamo Arabo Senza Saperlo-we eat Arabic food without knowing it)

I have a question…Bryan said not to marinate for more than 2 hours, because it would be too salty. But the chicken wasn’t rinsed off after marinating (which makes sense), and the rest of the marinade was poured on during cooking. So wouldn’t it be just as salty as if it marinated longer, say overnight?

When I don't have time to marinate I put everything in a FoodSaver bag and vacuum seal it. It makes a huge difference! I used to score my chicken.

I wish I could post up a Denzel "my man" meme cause you deserve it Bryan

The female walking in the background at the end of the video is absolutely perfect LOL you made her famous

Brian went from Mr Crispy in previous episode to Mr. Marinade in this one....very nice!!

excellent video

Your chicken looks delicious. I will definitely try that.

Delicious....👍

I made this chicken and it was delicious, juicy and very easy.

I love watching ur cooking channel I'm greek I love cooking /some baking But.. you guys are awesome 👌 👏 👍 I loved the eggplant 🍆 parm This chef 👨‍🍳 made. I made it,and my kids and family loooved it. Thank you

I couldn’t wait to make this dish…it was very tasty and found using a tbsp of Kosher salt was a little too salty. I did follow the recipe instructions and marinated the chicken for 1 1/2 hrs. The next I make this I will cut back on the salt and I also prefer the fresh herbs to be chopped a little more finely. The chicken went really well with Yukon Gold potatoes and buttered fresh green beans.
