Lebanese Chicken (Frarej)

I haven't actually tried this specific recipe yet but I am going to next week! I have made similiar ones but it has been a long long time ago.

There is a Lebanese place here that serves my favorite food of anywhere. Frarej is the chicken dish I like to get there! I will report back when I have actually tried this one with the verdict!

Ingredients

4 Chicken breasts, with skin
2 ts Salt
3/4 c Olive oil
3 lg Lemons, juiced
2 lg Potatoes
2 Garlic cloves
1 lg White onion, minced
4 Roma tomatoes
Pita Bread

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.

Rinse in cold water 4 chicken breasts, with skins and ribs

Rub each with 1/2 tsp salt

Mix juice of 3 large lemons, 3/4 cup olive oil

Place into a 9x13 baking dish 2 large potatoes, skinned, cut into 1/2 cubes 2 garlic cloves, minced 1 large white onion, sliced into half-circles the lemon/olive-oil mixture

Stir the ingredients to coat the potatoes.

Bake in the oven for 10 minutes.

Add the chicken breasts and 4 roma tomatoes (or as many as desired) to the backing dish.

Generously spoon the hot lemon/oil/garlic mixture over the chicken.

Put the dish back into the oven and cook uncovered for another 20 minutes, or until the skins on the chicken turn a very dark brown and the chicken is firm and does not ooze when poked with a fork.

Baste the chicken breasts two or three times in the lemon/oil mixture during cooking.

Serve with pita bread.

Serve each breast with a helping of potatoes, some onions, and a tomato.

NOTE: Skinless breasts dry out too quickly. Remove the skins after the chicken is done.
