A comforting and flavorful dish combining tender chicken thighs with crispy roasted potatoes, infused with lemon and garlic.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 medium yellow-fleshed potatoes, cut into wedges
  • Juice of 3 lemons
  • 1/2 cup water (optional)
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 10 garlic cloves, smashed
  • 6 skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs
  • 1 1/2 tbsp yellow mustard
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 1 1/2 tbsp dried oregano
  • 2 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Fresh oregano for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F and adjust the rack to the top third position.
  2. Place the chopped potatoes in a large casserole dish.
  3. Add the lemon juice, water (optional for extra moisture), smashed garlic cloves, and olive oil. Toss everything well to combine.
  4. Next, lay the chicken thighs atop the potato mixture.
  5. Drizzle yellow mustard over the chicken; season with salt, pepper, dried oregano, and garlic powder.
  6. Use your hands to ensure the chicken thighs are evenly coated, lightly tossing the potatoes as well.
  7. Arrange the chicken thighs neatly back on top of the potatoes.
  8. Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F and bake for about 80 minutes. The potatoes should be tender, and the chicken thighs should boast a deep golden-brown color.

Notes

For best results, let the chicken marinate in lemon juice, garlic, and olive oil for 30 minutes to an hour before cooking. Serve family-style for a warm communal dining experience.
