Chicken Lemone - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    4 chicken breasts, on the bone
    4 chicken thighs
    4 chicken legs
    4 chicken wings
    1 teaspoon salt
    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)
Preparation
    Thoroughly wash and dry all chicken pieces.
    Cut 2 lemons into round slices. (Use other 2 lemons for making lemon juice).
    Salt and pepper chicken on both sides.
    Place chicken meat side up in a glass casserole dish.
    Mix oil, lemon juice, parsley.
    Pour over chicken.
    Sprinkle some oregano all over chicken and refrigerate for about an hour.
    Turn the chicken over and sprinkle more oregano on top then refrigerate for about another hour.
    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.
