Ingredients
Scale
- 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (or breasts)
- 1 ½ lbs baby potatoes, halved
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 1 lemon, juiced and zested
- 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1 tbsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a large baking dish or sheet pan.
- In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice and zest, red wine vinegar, garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Place chicken thighs and potatoes in a large bowl or zip-top bag. Pour marinade over them, toss to coat evenly, and marinate for at least 30 minutes (up to overnight for deeper flavor).
- Arrange chicken and potatoes in a single layer in the baking dish. Pour any remaining marinade over the top.
- Roast in the oven for 40–45 minutes, or until chicken is fully cooked (internal temp 165°F) and potatoes are golden and tender.
- Optional: Broil for 2–3 minutes at the end for extra crispiness.
- Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm with lemon wedges if desired.
Notes
- Can substitute chicken thighs with drumsticks or breasts, but adjust cooking time accordingly.
- Marinating overnight enhances flavor dramatically.
- Add kalamata olives or feta for a Greek twist.
- Leftovers reheat well and make a great meal prep option.
