Ingredients

  • 5 bone-in chicken thighs
  • 3 cups red potatoes, diced
  • ⅓ cup lemon juice
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • ½ tsp red pepper flakes
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • ⅓ cup white wine
  • Chopped fresh oregano or parsley for garnish

Instructions

  • Place the chicken thighs and diced potatoes in a large bowl.
  • Add the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano and rosemary, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper.
  • Mix everything until well combined, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 mins to overnight.
  • Place the chicken skin side up and potatoes in a baking sheet. Pour the marinade evenly on top as well as the white wine, and bake in a preheated 450 F oven for 40 mins. Check periodically and add more white wine if necessary.
  • Serve with freshly chopped oregano or parsley on top.

Notes

  1. Placing the chicken thighs skin-side up makes them brown perfectly.
  2. Check the chicken periodically to see if it is drying out. If it is, add more wine.
  3. The more you marinate the chicken, the better the flavor!
