Pluto's Revenge

Ingredients
3 1/2 lbs chicken fryer
1-2 oz soft Kefalotiri cheese
salt
black pepper



marinade from Hades
juice of 1 lemon
olive oil to cover
1 1/2 Tsp Greek oregano
2 cloves garlic
stick of cinnamon
Method
Split the fryer in half. Chop the garlic. Break up the cinnamon stick. Throw the ingredients for the marinade into a gallon-sized zip-lock bag along with the chicken halves and store in refrigerator for at least 2 hours. Turn the bag periodically.
broiling
1. Locate a broiler pan and a grill grate (or rack) to fit the pan.

2. Place an oven grate into the oven and place the broiler pan with the grill grate on the oven grate. Verify that the grill grate is 5-7 inches from the flames - with a ruler.

3. Preheat the oven on the broil setting for 10 minutes.

4. While broiling, keep the oven door ajar.

Remove the cinnamon and garlic pieces from the chicken before broiling.

Arrange the chicken halves, end to end on the grate, directly under the broiler. Broil for about 15 minutes, basting with the excess marinade every 5 minutes. Re-arrange the halves after the first 10 minutes. Turn the halves over and broil for another 15-20 minutes, basting and re-arranging as before. Turn the chicken halves for the final time. Season with salt and pepper. Layer slices of Kefalotiri cheese over both halves. Broil until bubbly. Remove from the oven, and allow to rest for 8 minutes.

variation
The chicken halves may be grilled over moderate coals.
