Main Ingredients
  • 8 pieces bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 2 cups baby potatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (in oil or dry)
  • 1/2 cup pitted olives (Kalamata or green), sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tablespoon fresh oregano, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)

  • Optional Fresh parsley for garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, chopped herbs, salt, and pepper. Arrange them in a single layer on a large baking sheet.
  3. Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel, then season both sides with salt and pepper. Add the chicken thighs, sun-dried tomatoes, and olives to the bowl, drizzle more olive oil if needed, and toss to coat.
  4. Nestle the chicken thighs skin-side up among the potatoes on the baking sheet. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the top and scatter the lemon zest.
Cooking
  1. Roast in the preheated oven for about 35 to 40 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the skin is crispy and golden.
  2. Let the dish rest for about 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
