Sunny, lemony and redolent of garlic, this dish is a crowd-pleaser. If you make it ahead, you can use all chicken thighs instead of chicken pieces - they stay extra moist when reheated.

Ingredients
Method
Cut any large chicken pieces in half. In large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat; brown chicken, in batches, about 5 minutes. Drain off fat.
Arrange chicken and lemon wedges in 13- x 9-inch (3 L) glass baking dish. Sprinkle with lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper.
Bake in 425°F (220°C) oven, turning and basting twice, until breasts are no longer pink inside and juices run clear when thighs are pierced, about 30 minutes. (Make-ahead: Let cool for 30 minutes. Refrigerate until cold. Cover with foil and refrigerate for up to 1 day. Reheat, covered, in 375°F/190°C oven, basting once, for 15 minutes.) Sprinkle with parsley.
