Preheat your oven to 200Β°C (400Β°F).
In a large mixing bowl, add chicken thighs. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper. Set aside.
Zest and juice one lemon into the bowl of chicken, ensuring the chicken is evenly coated.
Peel and smash the garlic cloves and add them to the bowl.
Pluck rosemary and thyme leaves from their stems and add them to the chicken mixture, mixing well to combine.
Halve or quarter the potatoes depending on their size and spread them onto a large baking tray.
Peel and quarter the red onions and add them to the tray with the potatoes.
Nestle the marinated chicken thighs among the potatoes and onions on the tray.
Slice the second lemon thinly and arrange the slices around the tray.
Pour the chicken broth over the contents of the baking tray.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the chicken skin is crispy and golden, and the potatoes are tender.
Remove from the oven, let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.
