Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 4–5 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 large lemon, zested and juiced
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano or 2 tablespoons fresh oregano, chopped
  • Salt and black pepper to taste (kosher salt preferred)
  • 1 pound baby potatoes, halved (Yukon Gold or red potatoes)
  • 2 medium bell peppers, sliced (red and yellow)
  • 1 large red onion, cut into wedges
  • ½ cup Kalamata olives, pitted (optional)
  • Chopped fresh parsley for garnish
  • Optional: crumbled feta cheese for topping after baking

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  3. Add the chicken thighs to the marinade and toss well to coat evenly. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes, preferably 30 minutes.
  4. In another bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes, sliced bell peppers, and red onion wedges with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, pepper, and a pinch of oregano.
  5. Spread the veggies in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet. Nestle the chicken thighs skin-side up among the veggies, leaving space for crisping.
  6. Scatter Kalamata olives around the pan if using.
  7. Roast in the oven for 35-40 minutes. Halfway through (around 20 minutes), use tongs to flip the potatoes and peppers for even browning. Do not flip the chicken.
  8. Check that the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and that the skin is golden and crisp. Veggies should be tender and caramelized.
  9. Optional: Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley and crumbled feta cheese over the top after baking.
  10. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes on the pan before serving.

Notes

Pat chicken skin dry before marinating to ensure crispiness. Do not overcrowd the pan to avoid steaming. Flip veggies halfway through cooking but avoid flipping chicken to keep skin crispy. Use a kitchen thermometer to check doneness. Marinate chicken while prepping veggies if short on time. For dairy-free, omit feta or use a plant-based alternative. Potatoes can be swapped for sweet potatoes or cauliflower for a low-carb option.
