How to Make Baked Lemon Garlic Chicken Thighs and Potatoes

Preheat Your Oven

Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This will ensure that your chicken and potatoes cook evenly and to perfection.

Prepare the Chicken and Potatoes

1. In a large bowl, combine the chicken thighs and potatoes.
2. Drizzle olive oil over the chicken and potatoes, then add minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and pepper.
3. Gently toss everything to coat evenly. The aroma of lemon and garlic will start to fill the air – a tantalizing sign of what’s to come!

Arrange in a Baking Dish

1. Take a large baking dish and arrange the chicken and potatoes in a single layer. Ensure the chicken thighs are skin-side up for that crispy finish.
2. Pour any remaining marinade from the bowl over the chicken and potatoes. This will infuse the dish with more flavor.

Bake

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and let it bake for approximately 45-50 minutes. The chicken should be golden brown, and the potatoes should be tender when pierced with a fork.

Garnish and Serve

Once out of the oven, garnish the dish with fresh chopped parsley and lemon wedges. The vibrant colors and refreshing aroma make it an absolute feast for everyone.

For sure! You can put in your favorite veggies like bell peppers, carrots, or asparagus. Just remember to adjust the cooking time so everything gets cooked just right.
