Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken legs (drumsticks and thighs, trimmed of excess fat)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 2 teaspoons Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 pound Baby potatoes, halved
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
• 1 medium Red onion, sliced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.

Step 3

Place the chicken legs in a large bowl and pour half of the marinade over them. Rub the marinade all over the chicken to ensure it's evenly coated. Let marinate for 10-15 minutes while you prepare the vegetables.

Step 4

In a separate large mixing bowl, combine the baby potatoes, cherry tomatoes, and sliced red onion. Pour the remaining marinade over the vegetables and toss to coat.

Step 5

Arrange the marinated chicken legs on a large baking sheet or roasting pan. Place the coated vegetables around the chicken in a single layer.

Step 6

Roast in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C) and the potatoes are tender.

Step 7

If desired, broil the dish for an additional 2-3 minutes to achieve a crispy golden-brown finish.

Step 8

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Step 9

Divide the chicken and vegetables evenly among 4 plates and enjoy!
