Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 4 medium russet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel the potatoes and cut them into wedges. Set aside.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the chicken thighs in a large mixing bowl and pour half of the marinade over them. Toss to coat the chicken well and set aside to marinate for 10 minutes.
In another bowl, toss the potato wedges with the remaining marinade to ensure they are evenly coated.
Arrange the marinated chicken thighs and potato wedges in a single layer on a large baking sheet or ovenproof dish.
Pour the chicken broth into the baking dish around the chicken and potatoes. This will keep them moist and add extra flavor.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked, and the potatoes are tender and lightly crispy on the edges. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken should read 165°F (74°C).
Once cooked, remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
