Lemony Greek Chicken and Potatoes
adapted from Allrecipes
We eat this once a week in my home (plus leftovers for another day) so you can see I think it's a winner. (It is my husband's recipe, so it's slightly more involved than one of mine lol.)
Keeps well in the refrigerator -- just reheat in the oven. Make sure you have some crusty bread to sop up that delicious sauce.
Ingredients:
- 4 large chicken thighs, skin on, bone in
- 1 tbsp kosher salt
- 1 tbsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
- Pinch (or two... or three!) cayenne pepper
- 1/2 cup lemon juice
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 russet potatoes, peeled and quartered
- 2/3 cup chicken broth plus splash to deglaze pan
Method:
- Preheat oven to 425 and lightly oil large roasting pan
- Place chicken pieces in a large bowl and season with salt, oregano, pepper, rosemary, and cayenne pepper.
- Add lemon juice, olive oil, and garlic
- Top with potatoes and stir the entire mixture together until potatoes and chicken are coated
- Transfer chicken, skin side up, to roasting pan with tongs. Fill the gaps in the pan with the potatoes.
- Drizzle with 2/3 cup chicken broth and spoon marinade over the chicken and potatoes
- Bake for 20 minutes.
- Toss chicken and potatoes (chicken skin stays facing up)
- Bake an additional 25 minutes until chicken is browned and cooked through (165 degrees in temperature taken near the bone)
- Transfer chicken to a serving dish and toss potatoes (still in roasting pan) again in juices.
- Set oven to broil.
- Broil about 3 minutes, or until potatoes are caramelized
- Transfer potatoes to a serving platter with the chicken
- Roasting pan goes on the stove over medium heat
- Add a splash of chicken broth to deglaze
- Spoon juices over chicken and potatoes and top with oregano.
- Serve with crusty bread.
