Bella Lacagnina's Sunday Chicken with Lemon

Grandma Lacagnina's chicken with lemon tastes best if you are wearing your bathing suit after a swim in the lake with your cousins on a sunny summer Sunday and you are preferably 7 or 8 years old. It also is really good with mashed potatoes and green beans when you can't have all of the above.
Serves 4
8 chicken pieces skin on-a mix of thighs, and legs is my favorite but Gram always had the whole bird minus the back and the pope's nose as it were.
The juice of 2 lemons (you can substitute with 1/3 cup of bottled lemon juice in a pinch)
2 teaspoons of oregano
2 tablespoons of grated percorino romano cheese
1/2 teaspoon of finely ground black pepper
1 stick of margarine (yes margarine, sometimes I use 1/4 of light olive oil instead)
A large baker's metal half sheet pan-you don't want to crowd the chicken at the early stages.

1.Preheat your broiler.
2.Combine oregano, margarine, lemon juice, pepper and oregano in a small saucepan and heat on the stove on medium high heat until the mixture just starts to bubble. Set aside.
3.Wash and dry the chicken parts. Roll each piece in the juice and margarine mixture and place the chicken pieces on the baking pan at least an inch apart from each other. Pour the rest of the juice mixture over the chicken. Sprinkle chicken with pecorino romano on both sides.
4.Broil the chicken for 3 to 5 minutes on each side OR UNTIL each side is a deep brown color, turning once. Keep an eye on the broiler the whole time as this will spatter and be quite messy. Thank God for self-cleaning ovens. Trust me. The flavor is worth the mess.
5.Change the oven setting to 325 F, cover tightly with lots of foil and bake for 1 hour undisturbed.
6.Remove chicken from the pan and place in a lovely deep bowl. Pour a third of the juice over the chicken and the remaining juice into a gravy bowl. This must be served with mashed potatoes. Make a little well in your mashed potatoes and pour some of the juice/sauce into the well and onto your chicken. Say a little thank you to Grandma for this treasure.
