Greek Lemon Chicken and Potatoes Recipe

Ingredients

• 4 pounds skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs
• 3 russet potatoes, peeled and quartered
• 0.5 cup fresh lemon juice
• 0.5 cup olive oil
• 6 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon dried oregano
• 1 tablespoon kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 pinch cayenne pepper
• 1 cup chicken broth, divided
• 1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano, or to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and lightly grease a large roasting pan. Gather all ingredients for the recipe.
2. In a large bowl, combine the chicken and potatoes. Add lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, rosemary, black pepper, and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Toss to ensure everything is evenly coated with the marinade.
3. Arrange the chicken pieces skin-side up in the prepared roasting pan. Nestle the potato pieces around the chicken. Drizzle with 2/3 cup of chicken broth. Spoon any remaining marinade over the chicken and potatoes.
4. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Toss the chicken and potatoes, then arrange the chicken skin-side up once more.
5. Continue baking until the chicken is nicely browned and fully cooked, approximately 25 minutes longer. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken should read 165°F (74°C).
6. Transfer the cooked chicken to a serving platter and keep warm. Leave the potatoes in the roasting pan.
7. Turn on the broiler or set the oven to its highest heat setting. Toss the potatoes to coat them in the pan juices. Place the pan under the broiler and broil until the potatoes are crispy, about 3 minutes.
8. Transfer the crispy potatoes to the serving platter alongside the chicken.
9. Place the roasting pan on the stovetop over medium heat. Add the remaining 1/3 cup of chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan to deglaze.
10. Strain the pan juices into a measuring cup and pour the flavorful sauce over the chicken and potatoes.
11. Garnish with fresh oregano. Serve immediately and enjoy your Greek lemon chicken and potatoes!
