Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. In a large bowl, whisk together 4 tbsp olive oil, 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice, 2 tsp dried oregano, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 1/2 tsp salt, and 1 tsp black pepper. Add 6 bone-in chicken thighs and 1.5 lbs halved baby potatoes, tossing to coat evenly.
  2. Step 2: Arrange chicken thighs skin-side up on a large rimmed baking sheet and spread potatoes around them in a single layer. Roast for 35-40 minutes until chicken skin is golden and crispy and potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
  3. Step 3: While chicken roasts, prepare tzatziki by mixing 1 cup Greek yogurt, 1/2 grated and drained cucumber, 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill, and 1 tsp white vinegar in a bowl. Chill until serving.
  4. Step 4: Remove chicken and potatoes from oven, let rest 5 minutes. Serve chicken thighs and potatoes hot with a generous dollop of chilled tzatziki sauce.
