Broil Chicken with Feta Cheese

Ingredients

* 1 chicken (3 to 3 1/2 pounds), quartered
* 1 tablespoon olive oil
* 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh or dried oregano
* 1 tablespoon lemon juice
* 1 tablespoon butter
* 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
* salt & pepper

Directions

1. Pre-heat over to 375º.
2. Coat the chicken with the olive oil and arrange the pieces, skin-side up, in a large roasting pan. Sprinkle the chicken with the oregano, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Top each piece of chicken with a piece of the butter.
3. Cook the chicken until the breasts are just done, about 30 minutes and then remove the breasts and continue to cook the legs until done, about 5 minutes longer.
4. Return the breasts to the roasting pan and top the chicken pieces with the feta cheese. Press any cheese that rolls off into the pan back onto the chicken. Baste the chicken with the pan juices.
5. Broil the chicken until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Serve with the pan juices.
