Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Lemon Greek Chicken with Potatoes.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a toasty 425°F (220°C) and lightly greasing a spacious roasting pan.
Step 2
In a generous mixing bowl, combine succulent chicken thighs with quartered potatoes.
Step 3
Pour in fresh lemon juice, a splash of olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, kosher salt, fragrant rosemary, black pepper, and a hint of cayenne for a kick.
Step 4
Toss everything together until the chicken and potatoes are beautifully coated in the zesty marinade.
Step 5
Arrange the chicken pieces skin-side up in the prepared roasting pan, nestling the potatoes around them.
Step 6
Drizzle 2/3 cup of chicken broth over the top and spoon any leftover marinade for extra flavor.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then give the chicken and potatoes a gentle toss before returning the chicken to its skin-side-up position.
Step 8
Continue baking for another 25 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) when checked near the bone.
Step 9
Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a serving platter to keep warm, leaving the potatoes in the pan.
Step 10
Crank up the broiler or set your oven to its highest setting.
Step 11
Toss the potatoes again to ensure they soak up the delicious pan juices, then slide the pan under the broiler for about 3 minutes, or until the potatoes achieve your desired crispiness.
Step 12
Move the crispy potatoes to the platter alongside the chicken.
Step 13
Place the roasting pan on the stovetop over medium heat, adding the remaining 1/3 cup of chicken broth to deglaze the pan, scraping up any flavorful browned bits.
Step 14
Strain the pan juices into a measuring cup and drizzle them over the chicken and potatoes.
Step 15
Finish with a sprinkle of fresh oregano for a burst of color and flavor before serving.
Step 16
Enjoy this delightful dish that brings warmth and comfort to your table!.
