Ingredients
- 8 pieces chicken thighs or drumsticks
- 1.5 pounds baby potatoes (halved)
- 6 cloves garlic cloves (minced)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 whole lemon (juiced)
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until fully combined to create the marinade.
Step 3
Add the chicken pieces to the marinade and toss until evenly coated. Set aside to marinate while preparing the potatoes.
Step 4
Wash and halve the baby potatoes. Pat them dry with a paper towel, then add them to the mixing bowl with any leftover marinade. Toss until the potatoes are well coated.
Step 5
In a large baking dish or rimmed sheet pan, arrange the chicken pieces in a single layer. Scatter the marinated potatoes around the chicken.
Step 6
Place the dish in the preheated oven and roast for 45-50 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F or 75°C) and the potatoes are golden and tender.
Step 7
For an extra crispy texture, broil the dish for an additional 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Step 9
Serve hot and enjoy your Italian Garlic Chicken and Potatoes!
