GREEK STYLE ROASTED CHICKEN
This Delicious dish was a real winner. I came up with it by combining 2 chicken recipes that I had. Fancy without a great deal of work! You can reduce the fat content by not using the olive oil and herbs on the outside, then when serving don't eat the skin! Also, it is just as yummy if you omit the ham. Haven't tried it without the feta, but I imagine that would be good as well.

Tips:
- Use a whole chicken for the most flavorful results. A whole chicken will give you more crispy skin and juicy meat than a chicken breast or thigh.
- Pat the chicken dry before roasting. This will help the skin crisp up.
- Season the chicken generously with salt, pepper, and oregano. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as garlic, thyme, or rosemary.
- Roast the chicken at a high temperature for a short amount of time. This will help the skin crisp up and the meat stay juicy.
- Let the chicken rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat.

Greek-style roasted chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its crispy skin, juicy meat, and flavorful herbs, this chicken is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
