A flavorful Greek-inspired dish featuring tender lemon chicken thighs roasted with crispy potatoes and aromatic herbs.

Ingredients

Main

  • 4 pounds skin-on bone-in chicken thighs (Bone-in for added flavor and moisture)
  • 3 medium russet potatoes (Peeled and quartered, starchy for crispiness)
  • 0.5 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (Bright, tangy flavor)
  • 0.5 cup Greek olive oil (Rich in flavor and perfect for roasting)
  • 6 cloves garlic (Minced, adds aromatic depth)
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano (Classic Greek herb for earthy flavor)
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt (Enhances flavor)
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary (Adds a woodsy aroma)
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (For mild heat)
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper (Subtle kick of heat)
  • 1 cup chicken broth (Divided, for moisture and flavor)
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano (For garnish)

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and grease a large roasting pan.
  • Combine chicken and potatoes with lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, herbs, salt, and spices; toss to coat.
  • Arrange chicken skin-side up, add potatoes around, pour 2/3 cup broth, and drizzle remaining marinade.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, toss, then bake 25 more minutes until golden and cooked through.
  • Broil potatoes for 3 minutes until crisp, transfer to platter, and make pan sauce with remaining broth.

Notes

Ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safety.
