Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel and cut the yellow potatoes into wedges, about 1 inch thick. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, the juice of 1 lemon, minced garlic, dried oregano, paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.
Add the chicken thighs to the marinade and coat thoroughly. Transfer the chicken to one side of a large baking dish or roasting pan.
Toss the potato wedges in the same bowl with the remaining marinade. Arrange the potatoes on the other side of the baking dish.
Nestle the fresh rosemary sprigs between the chicken and potatoes.
Pour the chicken broth gently into the baking dish, ensuring it sits at the bottom without washing off the seasoning.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes, or until the chicken skin is golden and crispy, and the chicken’s internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). The potatoes should be tender and slightly crisp on the edges.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve hot with an optional garnish of fresh parsley or a side of tzatziki sauce for dipping.
