Marinade
- 2 tablespoons finely grated lemon zest
- 5 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice divided
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 5 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1.5 teaspoons kosher salt divided
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper divided
Main Ingredients
- 2 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs about 6
- 12 ounces Yukon Gold or red potatoes about 5 small, thinly sliced
- 2 cups grape or cherry tomatoes about 9 ounces
- 1 medium red onion halved and sliced into ½-inch pieces
- 4 ounces feta cheese broken into large crumbles
- 0.5 cup pitted olives such as kalamata (optional)
- finely chopped fresh dill or parsley leaves for garnish (optional)
Preparation
Stir the lemon zest, 2 tablespoons of the lemon juice, minced garlic, 3 tablespoons of olive oil, oregano, 1 teaspoon of kosher salt, paprika, and ¼ teaspoon of black pepper together in a large bowl.
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Loosen and pull the skin away from the meat without removing it. Rub the chicken all over with the lemon mixture, working it gently under the skin. Let sit and marinate at room temperature.
Heat the oven to 425℉.
Toss the sliced potatoes, grape tomatoes, sliced red onion, crumbled feta, olives (if using), remaining olive oil, lemon juice, kosher salt, and black pepper together on a baking sheet in an even layer.
Nestle the chicken skin-side up into the vegetables. Roast until the chicken registers at least 165ºF and the potatoes are tender, 35 to 40 minutes.
Garnish with finely chopped fresh dill if desired.
