  • AppleAnnie's Testing Notes: This is such a fabulous recipe that I plan to commit it to memory and to keep pitted kalamata olives on hand at all times. These roasted potatoes are so simple to make but the amazing flavor...

    I've been making these potatoes for years and love to serve them with slow roasted Greek chicken. The olives mellow out with the long roasting... - inpatskitchen

WooHoo! Prepared this tonight alongside Amanda's Spatchcocked and Braise-Roasted Chicken to RAVE reviews. Even the Spouse, who hates olives, loved it. The directions were so clear and precise, it made it easy.

nutrional info aside (ha)- this sounds like an awesome dish. full of flavour and punch- finding yummy inspiration like this is what Food52 is all about. It would be perfect along side a piece of blue eyed cod or similar tasting white fish.

Again, being new to this site, I do not see Nutrional Info for this recipe, an important part in eating healthy.

P.S. I could see sprinkling some chopped marcona almonds in as well. My mouth is watering, just reading this recipe!! ;o)

New_years_kitchen_hlc_only Reply

Oh my goodness! These look fabulous. How do you prepare the slow-roasted Greek chicken? Do tell! I so want to try this recipe! ;o)

Thanks...I stuff a 3 -5 whole chicken with garlic, season the whole thing with lemon, olive oil, and Caveders Greek Seasoning and let it marinate in the fridge for a few hours. Then roast at 250F for about 4.5 hours...raise the heat to 350F and roast another 30 minutes. Really yummy!!!

New_years_kitchen_hlc_only Reply

Wow, thanks!! It sounds so good. What is in the Caveders Green Seasoning? I am definitely going to make my next chicken this way, but will probably use preserved lemons, as I have extra left from last winter that I must use (as I make another batch now that this season's Meyers are now ripe!!) ;o) P.S. The next time you make this, you should photograph the cooked bird and post the recipe. I'm sure it would be much appreciated!!

Oh, I love Cavender's Greek seasoning--I buy it in New Orleans, but you can definitely get it on line.

I'm another fan of Cavenders (I have relatives in Arkansas where this spice blend is made, but I think it's now available in most grocery stores).
