½
teaspoon (2 ml) freshly ground black pepper
3
garlic cloves, crushed
3
sprigs fresh thyme
3
sprigs fresh rosemary

sprigs fresh oregano
1½
teaspoons (7 ml) kosher salt

2. Remove chicken from the refrigerator. Sprinkle liberally with salt

minutes, or until chicken is cooked and skin is golden brown. Internal
