Directions:
Chicken:
1. Preheat broiler for 15 min to attain maximum heat
2. Broil chicken halves, turning once, for about 30 minutes or until skin is golden brown and juices run clear when bird is pierced with a fork
3. Remove chicken from broiler, leaving broiler on. Using a sharp knife or kitchen shears, cut each half into about 6 pieces (leg, thigh, wing, 3 small breast pieces)
4. Place chicken on a baking sheet with sides, of a size that can fit into the broiler. Por Lemon Sauce over the chicken and toss to coat well. If necessary, divide sauce in half and do this in 2 batches.

6. Remove from broiler and portion each chicken onto each of 6 warm serving plates.

Sauce:
1. Whisk together juice, olive oil, vinegar, garlic, oregano, and salt and pepper.
2. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
3. Whisk or shake vigorously before using
