Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 1 pound baby potatoes
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 cup Kalamata olives
- 1 medium, sliced red onion
- 4 minced garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 zested and juiced lemon
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash the baby potatoes and cut them into halves or quarters, depending on their size, to make sure they are all roughly the same size.
In a large, oven-safe baking dish or cast-iron skillet, combine the potatoes, cherry tomatoes, sliced red onion, Kalamata olives, and minced garlic.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the vegetables and toss to coat evenly.
In a small bowl, mix the lemon zest, lemon juice, dried oregano, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper to create a seasoning blend.
Rub the seasoning blend all over the chicken thighs, making sure to get some of the mixture under the skin for maximum flavor.
Add the chicken thighs to the baking dish, placing them skin-side up on top of the vegetable mixture.
Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the chicken and vegetables.
Transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and roast for 40–45 minutes, or until the chicken skin is golden and crispy, the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), and the potatoes are tender.
Carefully remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired and serve immediately.
