Ingredients

4 pieces bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
1.5 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into wedges
6 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
6 tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 tsp lemon zest
6 garlic cloves, minced
2 tsp dried oregano
1.5 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
2 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped

Instructions

1

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
2

In a large bowl, whisk together 6 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, 6 tbsp fresh lemon juice, 2 tsp lemon zest, 6 minced garlic cloves, 2 tsp dried oregano, 1.5 tsp kosher salt, and 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper to make the marinade.
3

Add 4 pieces bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs and 1.5 lbs cut into wedges Yukon Gold potatoes to the marinade and toss well to coat. Let sit for 10 minutes while the oven heats.
4

Arrange potatoes in a single layer in a large roasting pan or rimmed baking sheet. Nestle chicken, skin side up, among the potatoes. Pour 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth into the bottom of the pan.
5

Roast for 45 to 55 minutes, turning the potatoes halfway through, until the chicken skin is deeply golden and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). If the pan dries out, add a splash of water.
6

Rest for 5 minutes, then garnish with 2 tbsp chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley and serve directly from the pan.
