4 chicken breasts, on the bone
4 chicken thighs
4 chicken legs
4 chicken wings

fresh ground black pepper (to taste)
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup lemon juice (juice from 2 fresh lemons below)
1/2 cup parsley, chopped
2 tablespoons dried oregano
4 lemons (2 for slicing & 2 for juicing)

Steps:

  • Thoroughly wash and dry all chicken pieces.

  • After the chicken marinates for a while place under the broiler for about 20 minutes.
  • Turn chicken around and broil for about another 20 minutes while basting with the oil and juice mixture. Top with lemon slices.
  • Towards the end watch carefully and try and get the skin of the chicken a nice crisp blackened look to it.
  • Not burned but just enough to give it a great flavor.
