- 2 teaspoons fresh oregano
- 1/2 cup dry white wine I used a Chardonnay
Instructions

- Place chicken in dutch oven.
- Mix together: mayonnaise, oregano and lemon juice and zest.
- Generously salt and pepper the chicken cavity. Rub the mayo mixture all over the bird, inside and out. Sprinkle with outside with salt and pepper. (I used a pepper mill, to get more of the pepper corn look.)
- Fill the inside of the chicken with the 2 quartered lemons. Pour the wine into the bottom of the dutch oven.
- Place the lid on your dutch oven and bake for 25 minutes. Reduce heat to 375 and bake for an additional hour, or until meat thermometer registers 165 degrees in the chicken's thigh.
- Let the chicken rest for 10-15 minutes before carving, to unsure it will be nice and juicy!
