Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Chicken and Potatoes:

  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1.5 lbs baby potatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • juice and zest of 1 lemon
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth

For Garnish (optional):

  • chopped fresh parsley
  • lemon wedges

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Prepare the marinade: In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice and zest, garlic, oregano, salt, pepper, paprika, and onion powder.
  3. Coat chicken and potatoes: Add the chicken thighs and baby potatoes to the bowl, tossing to coat well.
  4. Arrange in baking dish: Transfer the chicken and potatoes to a large baking dish or sheet pan, placing chicken skin side up with potatoes around them. Pour chicken broth around the edges.
  5. Roast: Roast for 40–45 minutes until chicken is golden and fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C) and potatoes are tender. Broil for 2–3 minutes for crispier skin if desired.
  6. Rest and garnish: Remove from the oven, let it rest for 5 minutes, then garnish with parsley and lemon wedges before serving.

Notes

  • For a complete meal, pair with a Greek salad or roasted veggies.
