Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 pounds skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 pinch cayenne pepper
½ cup fresh lemon juice
½ cup olive oil
6 cloves garlic, minced
3 russet potatoes, peeled and quartered
⅔ cup chicken broth, plus splash to deglaze pan
chopped fresh oregano for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly oil a large roasting pan.
  • Place chicken pieces in large bowl. Season with salt, oregano, pepper, rosemary, and cayenne pepper. Add fresh lemon juice, olive oil, and garlic. Place potatoes in bowl with the chicken; stir together until chicken and potatoes are evenly coated with marinade.
  • Transfer chicken pieces, skin side up, to prepared roasting pan, reserving marinade. Distribute potato pieces among chicken thighs. Drizzle with 2/3 cup chicken broth. Spoon remainder of marinade over chicken and potatoes.
  • Place in preheated oven. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Toss chicken and potatoes, keeping chicken skin side up; continue baking until chicken is browned and cooked through, about 25 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Transfer chicken to serving platter and keep warm.
  • Set oven to broil or highest heat setting. Toss potatoes once again in pan juices. Place pan under broiler and broil until potatoes are caramelized, about 3 minutes. Transfer potatoes to serving platter with chicken.
  • Place roasting pan on stove over medium heat. Add a splash of broth and stir up browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Strain; spoon juices over chicken and potatoes. Top with chopped oregano.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your dish. Look for ripe tomatoes, juicy olives, and tender chicken breasts.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When browning the chicken, make sure to give it enough space in the pan so that it can brown evenly. If you overcrowd the pan, the chicken will steam instead of brown.
  • Season the chicken generously: Don't be afraid to season the chicken with plenty of salt, pepper, and paprika. This will help to give the chicken a delicious flavor.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil is a key ingredient in this dish, so make sure to use a good quality extra virgin olive oil. This will help to give the dish a rich, flavorful taste.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken breasts can easily become dry and overcooked, so be careful not to cook them for too long. The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

Conclusion:

This Greek chicken with olives and potatoes is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is juicy and flavorful, the olives add a briny touch, and the potatoes are tender and roasted to perfection. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
