Sweet Lemon Chicken

 
1 whole chicken cut up
1 C. Olive Oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
juice of 3 large lemons (1/2 to 3/4 C)
2 Tbs. fresh oregano chopped (please use fresh)
1/4 C. maple syrup

Clean and skin the chicken removing all visible fat and pat dry. In a bowl, combine olive oil, garlic, lemon juice and oregano.

In a large skillet with a lid, place chicken in single layer and pour the oil mixture on top . Cook covered on medium heat for about 30 minutes basting often. Turn heat down to low and continue to cook uncovered until the sauce is reduced to about 1/2 cup about 30 more minutes. Remove chicken to a platter and add maple syrup to pan and stir until heated. Pour over chicken and serve immediately.

Crusty bread is great with this to dip in the sauce. Add a salad or some fresh veggies and its a great meal. Serves 3-4
