Unknownpage 35

Ingredients

  • 10 Pieces Chicken, cleaned
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper
  • 1/4 Teaspoon Dried Red Pepper Flakes
  • 1/2 Green Pepper, chunked
  • 1 Teaspoon Salt
  • 2 Teaspoons Oregano
  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 11 1/2 Ounce Can Pepperoncini, drained and rinsed
  • 1/2 Red Pepper, chunked
  • 1 Lemon, cut in half

Instructions

Heat oven to 450 degrees. Mix the salt, pepper, oregano and red pepper flakes together. Sprinkle 1/2 of the mixture over the top of each chicken piece. Heat oil in a roasting pan. Place chicken, seasoned skin side down in the roaster. Sprinkle the remaining seasoning over the exposed chicken. Bake about 15 minutes or until the chicken is beginning to brown. Turn the chicken pieces and add the pepper chunks and the pepperoncini. Return to the oven and cook until the chicken is tender, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and place the chicken on a platter. Squeeze the juice of the lemon halves over the chicken. Place the peppers and pepperoncini around the chicken. Spoon pan juice over all.
