Chicken is a spice and herb whore to me - but I've never swooned over
lemon, garlic and oregano... never even really considered it as an
option. Now, thyme - that's an option! It needs garlic and can live
without lemon. The combo I really like (love) is garlic, lemon and
fresh rosemary - which I absolutely require with lamb. Love it, love
it, love it!

I need to give lemon, garlic and oregano (fresh or dried?) a try. I
think I'll like it too.
