Description

A comforting dish of crispy chicken thighs and tender potatoes, beautifully infused with lemon and garlic flavors.


Ingredients

  • 5 medium yellow-fleshed potatoes, cut into wedges then halved
  • 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 the oven to 400°F. Move the oven rack to the top third.
  2. Place the chopped potatoes in a large casserole dish. Add the lemon juice, water, garlic cloves, and olive oil. Toss to combine.
  3. Place the chicken thighs on top of the potatoes. Drizzle over the mustard and season with salt, pepper, dried oregano, and garlic powder.
  4. Use your hands to evenly coat the chicken thighs and toss them slightly with the potatoes. Arrange the chicken thighs back on top of the potatoes.
  5. Lower the heat to 375°F and bake for about 80 minutes, until the potatoes are very tender and the chicken thighs are a deep golden brown.

Notes

For even greater flavor, consider marinating the chicken thighs overnight with olive oil, lemon juice, and spices.
