🛒 Ingredients

• 4 chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
• 4 large potatoes, cut into wedges
• 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 6 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1 cup chicken broth (or water)
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

Step 1: Make the marinade

In a large bowl, whisk together:

• lemon juice
• olive oil
• garlic
• oregano
• salt
• pepper

Step 2: Marinate the chicken

• Add chicken thighs to the bowl
• Coat well in the marinade
• Cover and marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight for best flavor)

Step 3: Prepare the potatoes

• Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C)
• Place potato wedges in a large baking dish
• Pour a little marinade over them and toss

Step 4: Assemble

• Arrange marinated chicken on top of the potatoes (skin-side up)
• Pour remaining marinade over everything
• Add 1 cup chicken broth into the dish (helps potatoes cook and creates sauce)

Step 5: Roast

• Bake uncovered for 50–60 minutes
• Halfway through, spoon pan juices over chicken and potatoes
• For extra crispiness, broil for 5 minutes at the end

Step 6: Finish & serve

• Sprinkle with fresh parsley
• Serve hot with the lemony pan juices spooned over

🔥 Pro Tips

• Use bone-in, skin-on chicken for best flavor and crispiness
• Cut potatoes evenly so they cook at the same rate
• Don’t skip the broth—it prevents burning and creates that classic Greek sauce
• Let it rest 5–10 minutes before serving

❓ Q&A

Q: Can I use boneless chicken?

Yes, but reduce cooking time to ~35–40 minutes to avoid drying out.

Q: Why are my potatoes not crispy?

They may be overcrowded or too wet—spread them out and broil at the end.

Q: Can I add vegetables?

Absolutely—carrots, bell peppers, or zucchini work well.

Q: Can I make it ahead?

Yes! Marinate overnight and bake fresh the next day.

Q: What should I serve with it?

• Greek salad
• Rice or pita bread
• Tzatziki sauce
