Roasted Greek Style Chicken is a classic Mediterranean dish that is simple, delicious, and healthy. The chicken is seasoned with a mixture of olive oil, oregano, lemon juice, salt, and pepper, which infuses it with a zesty, herbaceous flavor. The skin becomes crispy and golden brown, while the meat remains moist and tender. This dish is perfect for a family dinner, dinner party or holiday feast and can be accompanied by roasted vegetables, rice, or a Greek salad.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2.	Rinse the chicken and pat it dry with paper towels.
3.	In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, dried oregano, lemon juice, salt, and pepper together.
4.	Brush the seasoning mixture all over the chicken, making sure it is well coated.
5.	Place the chicken in a roasting pan and roast for approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) when measured with a meat thermometer.
6.	Let the chicken cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
