Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 1.5 lbs / 680 g)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • Juice and zest of 1 large lemon
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • 1.5 lbs baby potatoes or Yukon gold, halved or quartered
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional garnishes: fresh parsley, chopped; feta cheese crumbles

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice and zest, dried oregano, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika if using.
  3. Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels, then toss them in the marinade until well-coated. Let rest at room temperature for 10-15 minutes or refrigerate for up to overnight.
  4. Cut potatoes into halves or quarters depending on size. Toss with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon oregano, salt, and pepper.
  5. Spread potatoes in a single layer on the prepared sheet pan, leaving space for the chicken.
  6. Nestle the marinated chicken thighs skin-side up among the potatoes without overcrowding.
  7. Roast on the middle rack for 35-40 minutes. Halfway through (around 20 minutes), flip the potatoes and baste the chicken with pan juices.
  8. Check that chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and potatoes are tender and crispy.
  9. Remove from oven and let chicken rest for 5 minutes.
  10. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley and feta cheese over the top if desired.
  11. Serve immediately with a wedge of lemon.

Notes

[‘Pat chicken dry before marinating to ensure crispy skin.’, ‘Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent steaming and soggy skin.’, ‘Flip potatoes halfway through cooking for even browning.’, ‘Rest chicken after roasting to redistribute juices.’, ‘Use high heat (425°F) for best crispiness.’, ‘Marinate chicken overnight for deeper flavor if time allows.’, ‘For a low-carb version, substitute potatoes with cauliflower or Brussels sprouts.’, ‘To reheat leftovers, use an oven at 375°F for 10-15 minutes to maintain crispiness.’]
