landofpc Yeah, so, not be judge mental (jk I’m totally going to be) you can stop being a dick, and pull any feathers out yourself. So there was a couple in the vid, so what?? The meat you eat used be ALIVE and died so you could be an awful person and judge a vid that Chef Jon so kindly made for us. What was the point of your comment you waste of air?
I am Greek, and I approve this recipe! You can do it exactly the same in the oven, on a rack, with a pan of potatoes underneath, to catch all the juices!
When I read the comment section I get really surprised by the number of people who find Chef John's voice annoying. I think he sounds awesome. Really soothing to listen to.
great recite i will do it ;), a little tip, here in Argentina to measure the heat of the grill you put your hand over the grill (without touching the metal of course) and then we count how many second can u leave your hand there before you feel a bit of a intense heat 6 to 7 seconds is high heat 8 is medium and 9 to 10 is low and that way you dont need anything more than yourself and u can control it all the time... obviously is not a perfect science and u have to get use to it but is a good technique
Chef John, I never comment on your videos, for some odd reason, but here I am commenting, simply to say that you are a serious name in our household. We watch your videos and then recreate them. You have even made my fiance capable of cooking. YOU ROCK!
i used to love cooking, then i just became too busy. since I've been watching your viedos, ive been cooking again a few times a week. i had forgotten how much i love to cook. plus, my wife loves everythine I've made from your channel. thank you!
I'm one of those annoying viewers who thinks he knows a better way than the actual chef making the video . . . My apologies in advance. Two words : Sous Vide Cook the chicken in the marinade in the bag to absolutely perfect temperature. Then crisp the chicken over very hot charcoal grill. No possible way to screw this up. I know most folks are not fans of the sous vide method, but having been doing it for a few months, it just makes so many things so much easier, and even I end up with chef John-like finished products. So so so love your channel Chef John! Thanks for all the way awesome recipes. Cheers.
Chef John, I am a little confused and upset that Anyone could give You a thumbs down! You are Great!!! Thank You!!! Especially in this troublesome time, You bring light into my day, and my Heart!!!
Hi Chef John. Great recipe I am Greek from Cyprus and my mother’s recipe is the same as yours except she uses Aleppo peppers AND one spoon of Dijon mustard to thicken the marinate/sauce and it’s really great try it John with Dijon mustard. Just to add she also adds a stock cube as well but u don’t have to do that the mustard works great 👍
I am sooo sorry bout the leak in the bag my dear man. I still absolutely love your style, your recipes and your overall presentation. Absolutely world class entertainment which is clean, witty and hilarious without trying to hard - I simply love it.
Wow! This dish looks phenomenal, Chef John. I had a Greek stepmom a long time ago and she had turned my family on to Greek food, and believe me that chicken cooked in that way is quite a tasty dish.
Last time I was in Greece, we spent the day on Castellorizo, a small island at the eastern end of the Aegean. The lunch was magnificent. Your recipe made me remember it.
I want you to know, love your videos. You are great. If I say "and as always ". My husband yells enjoy in his version of you voice. Because of you, I made arepas. Genius!
We have been doing this recipe almost every week or two since we discovered it 2 years ago, best marination to cook chicken in the oven! Thanks a lot!!
Chef John....you have a "unique" teaching style and presentation in your culinary videos....but as a "classically" trained Chef, myself.....I see that you are very knowledgeable in the culinary arts and the humor and sarcasm that you sometimes impart in your narrative, while funny and amusing; does not take anything away from your incredible skill, knowledge and talent as a Chef. I really enjoy your teaching videos.....you are a very good culinary teacher.....and don't stop with the humor!L.O.L.
Anyone can make food videos. I don't like to cook, but u sir make ur videos interesting and funny and I marinated my chicken today, will cook it tomorrow. Thanks
Thank-you for these little tricks: cuts in the dark meat and refrigerate the marinating bowl for several hours. OOOH this was so delicious! And as usual I did ENJOY!
OK, Mr. Chef John. As I am to a John I have to be honest with you about this recipe. I did it exactly as you say. and holy cow was this one of the best chicken dishes I've ever had in my life. Although I could not do it on the grill because of the weather conditions, I cooked it in a 300° oven until three-quarter done and then finished it under the broiler on both sides until nice and crispy. It was so juicy, tangy, delicious and tender the flavors were just on point. Thank you.!!!
Yes but don't add vinegar in the marinade but add more lemon juice and olive oil in order to baste it while cooking. As for using onions instead of Garlic on lamb that's not true, I embed cloves of garlic in the lamb meat, it goes great.
@Hamed Saadawy Garlic is favorably used on Lamb in Greece (Google). Not all Mediterranean countries use the same recipes, when someone states "Mediterranean cuisine" it means they share a lot of core ingredients but not necessarily recipes. There is no traditionally Mediterranean recipes, the traditional part equates to the recipe owner of a specific country not the group itself.
3:00 agreed :) That said the bag technique is only really of use for low volume and low bone recipes. Nowt wrong with a good mix in an easy to clean bowl.
I broke out the grill this weekend and began the grilling season with this. Huge hit! I also added a little pickled fennel with some of the liquid that I needed to use up, and holy smokes! This is going to be my default grilling marinade this summer. Thanks Chef John, yet again.
I just threw this on the grill about 5 min ago and it smells just like the Greek restaurant I used to go to when I lived in Chicago! It's already going to be amazing I know it! Thank you ☺
Chef John is correct about the grilling temps (concept) a slow medium was perfect. I added some hickory in a smoking box for gas grill, adds a little extra, but don’t over do it. As well as the salting meat and letting it sit for hours. With all meats, salt and let sit and the salt absolutely goes into the meat and makes a HUGE difference. Love Chef John!
Made this last night and it was delicious. Even got a thumbs up from the husband who usually doesn't care for that much oregano. And as always....we enjoyed another Chef John recipe.
Not only does this look so good, when i;m feeling sad, or down, I'll come watch your videos and listen to your voice over and i can't help but smile and laugh at all your puns and jokes.
Freshly ground coriander would perfectly complement the lemon oregano and garlic, not that Chef John will ever look at this comment but just in case you do then FYI, as it takes the recipe over the top!
Kosher salt is just coarsely-grained salt. The name comes from the fact that this type of salt is useful for removing blood from the surface of meat during slaughtering, which is part of the process which is required to make meat kosher, which means it's acceptable for consumption by observant Jews.
It mainly refers to the size of the salt. Popcorn salt is ultra fine. Regular table salt is what you're probably used to out of a shaker. Kosher salt is a larger flake size. And then there's coarse salt, which is even bigger, and typically used in grinders. I suppose after that there's rock salt, but that typically isn't used in cooking. Cooks mainly use kosher salt because when you're seasoning by hand, you can see the grains. If you use table salt, it's harder to tell how much you've put down. Just be careful what your recipe calls for. Because of the difference in grain size, you can't directly interchange them without adjusting for the size. If the recipe calls for x amount of kosher salt and you substitute the same amount regular salt, you'll end up with too much salt. Otherwise, it's just salt. There's nothing different other than the size.
The different kinds of salt also have different flavor intensities. Iodized salt (table salt) is a lot stronger than kosher salt, so one must adjust the amount used based on the salt. Kosher salt flavors vary between suppliers.
Chef John your humour lifts my mood each time I watch your videos! I love food and learning new recipes, you just make learning how to cook an enjoyable experience! God bless you and I am looking forward to more videos. Also, please do some meaty stove top pressure cooker meals? Thanks...
Can you make like a summary video where you go over videos that you have posted in the past. Point out your favorites (preferably of each kind of dish), your least favorite, or ones that you would change a little to make it significantly better?
This recipe looks wonderful. I'm going to try adapting it to do a Greek roast chicken in my Ninja Foodi multicooker. And I love the dry humor and the singsong voice...keep up the good work!

We can't understand your explanation. You are not explaining clearly. It's a pity!

Got to hate his voice though.. i get the trick.. but it gets old fast.... i guess he dont care cause he making that money though..
“With all due respect, that’s crazy.” Chef John, you have a wonderful way with words.
Ever since I found this channel, I've been adding cayenne to everything. Help.
Try adding some cayenne
Try Charmin
Darth Lily lol
😂😂😂😂
There is no going back to the flavorless cayenne-less world after watching and or eating one of Chef John’s recipes.

I just think it sounds weird
No....)))
I watch them muted with subtitles because it drives me crazy.
If you don't have a grill, you should check out John's oven recipe for Greek roast chicken and potatoes. I love it.
I have! And I concur!
Thank you!! Cause I'm sitting here drooling and OOPS!!! I doezn't has a grill

Why waste a plastic bag when you can use a bowl? Chef, you are by far one of the best TH-cam channels around.
Chef John, do you have a recipe for loaded baked potato soup?
Vibrant Hues that sounds delicious !!
I agree
Vibrant Hues great suggestion.
go online look one up He never replies!
terrible, terrible suggestion

My Mouth is literally filled with saliva right now🤤
Chef Jon, you continually rock the recipes......I LOVE Greek food, and this already tastes authentic in my mind.....
How do you think the flavor would turn out if you used a white balsamic in the marinade instead of plain white distilled vinegar?
Pretty good.
Most practical narration and approach ever. Yet to try it out but thanks much for the video and suggestions.
Anyone can make food videos. I don't like to cook, but u sir make ur videos interesting and funny and I marinated my chicken today, will cook it tomorrow.

I would think this marinade would work great with lamb too.
Only if you replaced garlic with onion. Chicken LOVES garlic, but for red meats, not such great idea.
Mediterranean advice :)
Yes but don't add vinegar in the marinade but add more lemon juice and olive oil in order to baste it while cooking. As for using onions instead of Garlic on lamb that's not true, I embed cloves of garlic in the lamb meat, it goes great.
lamb goes very well with garlic too though, especially lamb shanks with garlic cloves whole inside the meat
Lamb Shanks with garlic are not originally Mediterranean recipe.
@Hamed Saadawy
Garlic is favorably used on Lamb in Greece (Google). Not all Mediterranean countries use the same recipes, when someone states "Mediterranean cuisine" it means they share a lot of core ingredients but not necessarily recipes.

Who is the goof that did the thumbs down, this looks great
Goofs now lol
Haters gotta hate. I know a guy that, if he found a $5, would complain that it wasn't a $10.
Jay Seven probably the guy who suggested him to use a plastic bag instead of a bowl
Jay Seven haters gonna hate hate hate
But i just gonna shake shake shake
Some cayenne some cayenne ooooh oooooh
It was just all the people in Australia who liked the vid.
I'm very excited to try this recipe. Very excited indeed! You're the Hercules of Recipes, Chef John!!!!!!
your channel and your cooking is great. Unfortunately, your videos don't have captions or subtitles which is great for deaf people like me.
You can activate subtitles from the video settings.
I just threw this on the grill about 5 min ago and it smells just like the Greek restaurant I used to go to when I lived in Chicago! It's already going to be amazing I know it! Thank you ☺

Just marinate in a bowl - I think we already have too much plastic floating about.
2 cuts + 1 is a good step\
I don't think I have found a bad recipe on your channel. Thanks to you, I won't be underweight for too long.
Great looking recipe, chef. And the salt tip for marinades was great.
All your videos make me smile for no reason. Thanks for this man and happy new year!

Made this with chicken thighs under the broiler and it turned out perfect. So much flavour, fall of the bone tender and still moist.

what is this kocher (kosher?) salt he talks about in like everyvideo?
Kosher salt is just coarsely-grained salt.
The name comes from the fact that this type of salt is useful for removing blood from the surface of meat during slaughtering, which is part of the process which is required to make meat kosher, which means it's acceptable for consumption by observant Jews.
its salt with a larger grain size compared to usual table salt
oh, thanks guys!
It mainly refers to the size of the salt. Popcorn salt is ultra fine. Regular table salt is what you're probably used to out of a shaker. Kosher salt is a larger flake size. And then there's coarse salt, which is even bigger, and typically used in grinders. I suppose after that there's rock salt, but that typically isn't used in cooking.

Thank you for the recipe. I almost forgot how delicious Greek chicken really is. I had it many many years ago.
"i like my chicken like i do my greek weddings" over budget and about to break all the banks
i LOVE that you're so generous in the marinade!!! LOL this is so meeeee!!!!
Will this work with oven? I'm a poor student living in a sharehouse, we don't have griller :')
That sauce is amazing. The chicken was juicy and succulent. What a great recipe. Definitely a keeper. Thanks 💐
Off topic question but why do people down thumb good food??
Food is subjective.
Vegetarians!
Kurt Eulenfeld because they're vegans
Lol vegans and people who are mostly at work and hungry

Feeling hungry after watching this , great , tasty, perfect for my Sunday lunch
I'll only use a bag for marinating if I'm using boneless meat. Guaranteed to poke through the bag with any bone in meat!
+McShlisy smooth af dude -_-
Unless the bones are broken and therefore sharp, it's not gonna poke through a bag.
McShlisy haha😄😂
+Maltbrew . Exactly. I use zip top bags all the time with bone in meat and fish. No, holes in the bag ever for me.
i used a garbage bag once
Wow! This marinade is fantastico! Came out ridiculously delicious!
I FUCKING LOVE FOOODDD
