Ingredients

• 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
• 1 lb (450g) baby potatoes, halved
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• Juice and zest of 1 lemon
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley, to garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the marinade: In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice and zest, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper.
3. Marinate the chicken: Place chicken thighs in a large bowl or zip-top bag. Pour over half of the marinade and mix until the chicken is well coated. Let it marinate while you prepare the potatoes.
4. Prepare the potatoes: In a baking dish, add the halved baby potatoes. Drizzle with the remaining marinade and toss to combine.
5. Arrange in the baking dish: Add the marinated chicken thighs on top of the potatoes, skin-side up.
6. Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 45 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender. If desired, broil for the last 5 minutes for extra crispy skin.
7. Serve: Once cooked, garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy your easy and flavorful one-pan dish!
