Feta-Brined Roasted Half Chicken with Juicy Potatoes & Charred Lemon

One of Souvla's most iconic dishes is the Feta-Brined Roasted Chicken. The chicken is brined for a full 24 hours in pureed feta cheese, which acts as the perfect tenderizer and flavor enhancer. The chicken is then rubbed with their incredible spice blend that's loaded with Mediterranean oregano, dried basil, and dehydrated lemon peel. Finally, it is roasted to perfection and paired with a pile of golden potatoes that are roasted in the chicken drippings and served with charred lemon. This is one of Good Eggs Kitchen's favorite dishes of all time, and we hope it becomes one of yours too!

Established in 2014, Souvla is a group of modern fast-fine Greek restaurants with locations throughout San Francisco (coming soon to Marin!) inspired by the casual souvlaki joints found throughout Greece. (The word “souvla” means “spit” or “skewer” in Greek — the rod on which meat is roasted.) The first Souvla opened its doors in April 2014 in Hayes Valley, and in the years since, have opened locations in San Francisco's NoPa, Mission, Marina, and Dogpatch neighborhoods.

Reheat Instructions: Remove the plastic lid and recycle. Loosely cover the alloy tray with foil and reheat in a 375-degree oven for 18-20 minutes, or until heated through. Squeeze the warm charred lemon over the top and serve immediately.
