Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 lb chicken thighs and drumsticks
  • 22 oz potatoes

Marinade and Seasonings

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 cup lemon juice
  • 1 Tbsp lemon zest
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 Tbsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp paprika

Garnish

  • Parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it maintains the optimal temperature for even cooking and crisping of both the chicken and potatoes.
  2. Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, tomato paste, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, dried oregano, black pepper, and paprika until fully combined. This mixture will serve as a vibrant marinade that imparts deep flavor to the dish.
  3. Prepare the Chicken and Potatoes: Pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towels to help achieve crispy skin. If the potatoes are large, chop them into bite-sized pieces to promote even roasting. Arrange the chicken and potatoes evenly on a large sheet pan, ensuring they are spaced to allow proper heat circulation.
  4. Coat with Sauce: Pour the prepared lemon herb sauce evenly over the chicken and potatoes, using a spoon or basting brush to coat all surfaces thoroughly. This will ensure every bite is infused with flavor.
  5. Bake: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 40 minutes. Bake until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), indicating it is safely cooked through.
  6. Rest and Garnish: Remove the pan from the oven and let the chicken and potatoes rest for 5 minutes to redistribute the juices for moist, tender meat. Finally, garnish with freshly chopped parsley to add a pop of color and fresh herbaceous notes before serving.

Notes

  • Use bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs and drumsticks for the best flavor and texture.
  • Make sure to pat the chicken dry before coating to achieve crispy skin.
  • Cut potatoes evenly to ensure they cook at the same rate as the chicken.
  • Check the internal temperature of the chicken with a meat thermometer to ensure it is fully cooked for food safety.
  • This dish pairs well with a simple green salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
