Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Chicken:

  • 2 lb chicken thighs and drumsticks

For the Potatoes:

  • 22 oz potatoes, chopped if large

For the Sauce:

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 cup lemon juice
  • 1 Tbsp lemon zest
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 Tbsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp paprika

For Garnish:

  • Fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the chicken and potatoes.
  2. Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, tomato paste, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, dried oregano, black pepper, and paprika until well combined to create a flavorful marinade.
  3. Prepare the Chicken and Potatoes: Pat the chicken thighs and drumsticks dry with paper towels for better browning. If the potatoes are large, chop them into smaller, bite-sized pieces. Arrange the chicken and potatoes evenly on a sheet pan.
  4. Coat with Sauce: Pour the prepared sauce evenly over the chicken and potatoes, using a spoon or brush to ensure everything is well coated with the marinade for maximum flavor.
  5. Bake: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and bake for 40 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork and the chicken is cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  6. Rest and Garnish: Remove the pan from the oven and let the chicken and potatoes rest for 5 minutes to retain their juices. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving to add a fresh herbal note.

Notes

  • Use a food thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
  • Allow leftovers to cool completely before storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Consume within 3-4 days.
  • For added crispiness, you can broil the dish for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  • Feel free to swap chicken thighs and drumsticks for other cuts, but adjust cooking time accordingly.
