Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk together 4 tbsp olive oil, 3 tbsp lemon juice, 2 tbsp dried oregano, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Add 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs and toss to coat. Marinate for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator.
  2. Step 2: Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss 1.5 lbs cubed potatoes and 8 whole peeled garlic cloves with 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1 tbsp olive oil.
  3. Step 3: Arrange the marinated chicken thighs skin-side up on a large roasting pan. Surround with the potatoes and garlic cloves.
  4. Step 4: Roast for 45-50 minutes, basting the chicken and stirring potatoes halfway through, until the chicken skin is golden and crisp and the potatoes are tender.
  5. Step 5: Let rest 5 minutes before serving with pan juices spooned over the top.
