Preparation
- Step 1
Combine fresh and dried herbs, garlic, lemon juice, salt and pepper in food processor. When machine begins running, slowly pour in olive oil to form a thick emulsion.
- Step 2
Transfer to a non-aluminum bowl or pan, add chicken, and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate 2 to 3 days, turning once or twice.
- Step 3
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. If planning to finish cooking on a charcoal grill, prepare a hot coal fire. Then, place chicken pieces skin-side up in a shallow roasting pan. Roast uncovered until almost cooked through, about 25 minutes.
- Step 4
Finish cooking over a charcoal fire, or under a preheated broiler, turning once, until skin is well browned and meat is cooked and juicy, 5 to 7 minutes. Serve hot.

Always delicious! I have made this several times, popping it into the marinade in the morning and cooking it that evening, and it is always wonderful, in spite of the shortened marinating time. Yesterday, I made it with lemon thyme and scattered small potatoes in the roasting pan and it was perfect!
