    Ingredients

    4 chicken drumsticks
    1/4 cup feta
    3 tbsp tahini
    1 cucumber
    5 sprigs oregano
    1/2 lb campari tomatoes
    1 red onion
    6 garlic cloves
    1 lemon
    1/4 cup kalamata olives with brine
    3 tbsp red wine vinegar
    1/2 tsp red pepper flakes

    Equipment

    roasting pan
    fine grater

    Preparation

    Pre-heat the oven to 425˚, and move a rack to the upper portion of the oven.

    Dice the garlic.

    Place the chicken drumsticks in a pan. Juice the lemon into the pan. Grate the zest of the lemon into the pan. Remove the oregano from the stem and add to the pan along with the chopped garlic, red pepper flakes, and a 1/4 tsp of salt.

    Roast the chicken for 25 minutes, occasionally adding a 1/2 c of water and flipping the chicken over to keep the chicken from burning.

    After the chicken has roasted for 25 minutes, raise the heat to broil for 7-10 minutes for an extra crispy skin.

    While the chicken cooks, assemble the salad. Dice half of the red onion.
    Chop the cucumber into 1/4-1/2" pieces.
    Cut the tomato into 1/4 - 1/2" pieces.
    Place the tomatoes, cucumbers, and red onion in a bowl. Add the red wine vinegar with the kalamata olives and brine. Mix.

    Top with the crumbled feta cheese and place in the refrigerator until ready for serving.

    Plate the roasted chicken. Serve with the greek salad and tahini.

    This dish was tasty and super easy for me to prepare while my 15 month old buzzed around the kitchen. I threw the chicken in the oven right before I put her to bed, and it was ready when I came out.

    We liked this dish, but the chicken needed much longer to fully cook.

    Easy and flavorful–light yet filling. I love greek food and I love baked chicken so this one is a no brainer.
