Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 1/2 pounds baby potatoes halved or quartered
  • 5 to 6 bone-in skin-on chicken thighs or legs about 2 1/2 pounds
  • Serve with chopped fresh parsley and Greek yogurt

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, paprika, salt and pepper.
  • Toss the potatoes in a large baking dish, sheet pan, or cast iron with about half of the marinade. Toss until fully coated.
  • Pat chicken dry and toss with the remaining marinade, coating well. Nestle the chicken on top of the potatoes.
  • Transfer to the preheated oven with the skin-side up. Roast and cook for 50 to 1 hour, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. You can also flip the pan halfway for even browning on all sides.
  • If the potatoes need more time, and the chicken is done, remove the chicken on a separate plate, and transfer the potatoes back in the oven until fork tender.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley, and serve alongside yogurt and a lemon wedge.

Notes

  • Pat chicken dry before adding to the marinade so the skin crisps 
  • Cut potatoes uniformly so they finish cooking at the same time
  • Gluten-free: naturally gluten-free
  • Storing: Store in an airtight container in the fridge, up to 4 days. 
  • Reheating: Reheat in the oven or air fryer to keep the skin crispy.
