Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 2 lb chicken thighs and drumsticks

Vegetables

  • 22 oz potatoes
  • 4 large cloves garlic

Marinade & Seasonings

  • 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

  • Fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s ready for roasting the chicken and potatoes evenly.
  2. Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, tomato paste, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, dried oregano, black pepper, and paprika. Whisk well until you have a smooth, well-blended sauce.
  3. Prep Potatoes and Chicken: If the potatoes are large, chop them into smaller, even-sized pieces to ensure they cook evenly. Pat both the chicken and potatoes dry with kitchen paper to remove any excess moisture, which helps achieve a crispier skin and roasted potatoes.
  4. Arrange and Coat: Place the chicken and potatoes on a large sheet pan or roasting tin. Pour the prepared sauce evenly over everything, using your hands or a spatula to rub it into the chicken and potatoes thoroughly, ensuring they’re fully coated with the flavorful mixture.
  5. Roast the Dish: Bake in the preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 40 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through, juices run clear, and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
  6. Rest and Garnish: Remove the pan from the oven and allow the chicken and potatoes to rest for 5 minutes. This helps redistribute the juices inside the chicken. Finally, garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

  • For best results, use skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs and drumsticks to keep the meat juicy and flavorful.
  • You can substitute lemon juice with fresh lime juice for a slightly different citrus flavor.
  • Adjust the amount of garlic and spices based on your taste preference.
  • If using smaller potatoes, you can leave them whole or halve them to maintain texture.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven to retain crispiness.
