Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 500 grams Yellow potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves
- 2 teaspoons Dried oregano
- 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 piece Lemon
- 2 tablespoons Parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Wash the yellow potatoes thoroughly and cut them into bite-sized chunks. No need to peel unless desired.
In a large bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic (or finely chopped), dried oregano, paprika, salt, black pepper, and the juice of half a lemon.
Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and toss to coat them evenly in the marinade. Let them sit for 10-15 minutes for additional flavor infusion if time allows.
In a separate bowl, toss the potato chunks with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, a pinch of salt, and some black pepper.
On a large baking sheet or roasting pan, arrange the marinated chicken thighs skin-side up, leaving space around each piece. Scatter the seasoned potato chunks around the chicken.
Place the rosemary sprigs on the tray, tucking them between the chicken and potatoes for aromatic flavor.
Roast in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the chicken skin is golden and crispy and the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 75°C (165°F). The potatoes should be tender and lightly browned.
If the chicken skin needs extra crisping, switch the oven to the broil setting for the last 2-3 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
Once done, remove the pan from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Squeeze the remaining half of the lemon over everything for a fresh burst of flavor.
Garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve hot. Enjoy your delicious Italian oven-roasted chicken and potatoes!
