Greek Lemon Chicken with Potatoes in the Oven - Κοτόπουλο του φούρνου με πατάτες και λεμόνι

Recently I posted a YouTube video demonstrating a traditional Greek/Hellenic recipe, Κοτόπουλο του φούρνου με πατάτες και λεμόνι, which translates to Baked Chicken with potatoes and lemon.


In this dish I use a "secret" ingredient that makes it smell yummy and taste delicious. Our family would visit Greece during the summer months and we would have lunch at Berry Trees, Μουριές, a darling little taverna nestled in Hania (village), Evia (region). I found a Facebook post on the page Avlonari, such a lovely place and I copied the following picture that shows the outdoor seating area of this taverna.


They have indoor and outdoor seating available, but it's just great having lunch under the canopy of a blackberry tree. There, I spoke with the mom of the owner and she told me that she smears mustard on the potatoes and chicken. The mustard gives this dish a delicate flavor and I've been using it in this recipe ever since with success.

Keep eating!
