Everyone loves a great roasted chicken, and this is a My Greek Table recipe standout! In the Greek diet and Mediterranean diet, roasted chicken is often a Sunday meal. But it’s also easy enough to prepare for a midweek feast, as I did as a thank you to a friend who walked me around my new Athens neighborhood, explaining its fascinating, multilayered history. The extra virgin Greek olive oil, spices, and Greek brandy are all Mediterranean diet ingredients that make this a classic Greek recipe delicious any time of the week or year. It’s one of my favorite recipes from season 4 of My Greek Table! Serve it with a delicious Greek Xinomavro rosé from Amyndeon, the highest elevation vineyard in Greece.
