Peasant-Style Greek Chicken image

This is a common meal enjoyed in Greece. It's incredibly delicious, and while it's cooking, the smell will have everyone in the house hanging around the kitchen. I find that the chicken stays moist if it is covered for the the first 20 minutes of baking. Serve with a crisp salad and crusty bread or pita.

This dish was a little too salty for my taste, but otherwise it was very good. I think I'll try it again with less salt next time.
