Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) extra virgin olive oil
  • Juice of 2 lemons (about 1/4 cup / 60 ml)
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1.5 pounds (700 g) baby potatoes, halved
  • 1 large red onion, sliced into wedges
  • 2 bell peppers, halved
  • 1 cup (150 g) cherry tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup (75 g) pitted Kalamata olives
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.
  3. Pat dry the chicken thighs with a paper towel and add them to the marinade bowl. Toss to coat evenly and let sit for 10 minutes.
  4. Prepare the vegetables: halve the baby potatoes, slice the red onion into wedges, halve the bell peppers, and gather the cherry tomatoes. Add these to the marinade bowl and toss well to coat.
  5. Arrange the potatoes and onions in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet. Nestle the chicken thighs skin-side up on top.
  6. Scatter the bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, and Kalamata olives around the chicken and veggies.
  7. Roast in the oven for 35-40 minutes. Halfway through, use tongs to turn the chicken and gently stir the vegetables for even cooking.
  8. Remove from the oven, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over everything, and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
  9. Optional: If chicken skin isn’t crispy enough, broil for 2-3 minutes watching closely to avoid burning.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure crispy skin and caramelized vegetables. Pat chicken dry before marinating for best crispiness. Marinate for 10-15 minutes to infuse flavor without breaking down the chicken texture. Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken reaches 165°F (74°C). For extra crispiness, broil for 2-3 minutes at the end. You can marinate the chicken and veggies the night before and roast fresh for convenience.
