Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken thighs, bone-in, skin-on
- 500 grams Baby potatoes, halved
- 60 ml Olive oil
- 1 whole Lemon, zest and juice
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh oregano, chopped
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 large Red onion, cut into wedges
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
Step 2
In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon zest and juice, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, oregano, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Step 3
Place the chicken thighs in a large bowl or zip-top bag and pour half of the marinade over the chicken. Massage the chicken to coat well, then cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.
Step 4
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes and red onion wedges with the remaining marinade.
Step 5
Arrange the marinated potatoes and onions in a single layer in a large baking dish or sheet pan.
Step 6
Place the marinated chicken thighs on top of the potatoes and onions, skin side up, ensuring they do not overlap.
Step 7
Roast in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is crispy and golden brown, and the potatoes are tender.
Step 8
Check the internal temperature of the chicken to ensure it has reached 75°C (165°F).
Step 9
Once done, remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Mediterranean Diet Roasted Herb Chicken with Potatoes!
