Ingredients
Scale
For the Chicken:
- 4 lbs bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- ½ cup fresh lemon juice
- ½ cup olive oil
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp dried oregano
- 1 tbsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
- 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper
For the Potatoes:
- 3 russet potatoes, peeled and quartered
- 1 cup chicken broth, divided
- 1 tsp fresh oregano, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set oven to 425°F (220°C) and lightly oil a large roasting pan.
- Marinate: In a large bowl, toss the chicken and potatoes with lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, dried oregano, salt, rosemary, black pepper, and cayenne until well coated.
- Assemble: Arrange chicken skin-side up in the roasting pan. Nestle potatoes around the chicken and drizzle with ⅔ cup of chicken broth. Pour any remaining marinade over the top.
- Bake & Toss: Roast for 20 minutes, then toss the potatoes and turn the chicken skin-side up again.
- Finish Cooking: Continue baking for about 25 more minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and registers 165°F (74°C) on an instant-read thermometer. Transfer chicken to a serving platter and keep warm.
- Broil the Potatoes: Toss the potatoes in the pan juices, then broil for about 3 minutes until crispy. Transfer to the platter with the chicken.
- Make the Pan Sauce: Place the roasting pan on the stovetop over medium heat. Add the remaining ⅓ cup chicken broth and scrape up the browned bits. Strain the pan juices and drizzle over the chicken and potatoes.
- Serve: Sprinkle with fresh oregano and enjoy!
