Ioannina chicken

Epirus Taste • Mountain Climate • “Homemade” Flavor from Epirus

Ioannina chicken comes from farms in the greater Ioannina area of Epirus, where the cooler climate and careful rearing produce chicken with a full, authentic flavor and firm, juicy meat.
It is ideal for all classic Greek recipes: oven-roasted with potatoes, lemon chicken, chicken in tomato sauce, soups, and one-pot meals.

🔥 Cooking Instructions (approximate)
❗ The product is not ready to eat — it must be fully cooked before serving.

Oven-roasted with potatoes
1️⃣ Preheat the oven to 180–190°C.
2️⃣ Place the chicken in a roasting pan with potatoes, carrot & onion if desired.
3️⃣ Drizzle with olive oil & lemon, season with salt and pepper, and add oregano / thyme / rosemary.
4️⃣ Roast for about 60–80 minutes (depending on weight), until:
• the juices run clear,
• there is no pink color near the bone.
5️⃣ If needed, add a little water or stock to the roasting pan during cooking.
6️⃣ Let it rest for 10–15 minutes before carving.

For soup / pot cooking
• Cut into portions and place in cold water with vegetables (onion, carrot, celery) to boil.
• Skim off the foam, lower the heat, and simmer until tender.

💡 Chef’s Tip:
Save the juices from roasting or boiling – they make an excellent base for sauces, rice, or trahana.
