Scale
- 4 bone-in chicken thighs, skin-on
- 1 pound baby potatoes (red or Yukon gold)
- 2 fresh lemons (zest and juice)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 tsp fresh thyme, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly spray a large baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Marinate the Chicken: Place chicken thighs in a large ziplock bag or bowl. Pour half of the marinade over them and let marinate while preparing the potatoes.
