Description

A flavorful and hearty dish featuring roasted chicken thighs infused with Mediterranean herbs, paired with crispy baby potatoes.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1.5 lbs baby potatoes, halved
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, thyme, paprika, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
  3. Add chicken thighs and baby potatoes to the bowl and toss to coat evenly.
  4. Transfer everything to a large baking dish or sheet pan, arranging the chicken skin-side up and spreading potatoes around them.
  5. Roast for 35-40 minutes or until the chicken is golden and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F) and potatoes are tender and slightly crisp.
  6. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes.
  7. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot.

Notes

  • Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes for extra flavor.
  • Use a mix of yellow and red baby potatoes for visual appeal.
  • Great served with a side of tzatziki or a simple Greek salad.
