Roasted Lemon Chicken Thighs and Potatoes

This is very much a delicious version of boomer mom dinner. (Stolen from cafehaillee.com).

Ingredients:

  • ½ cup fresh lemon juice, from about 4 lemons
  • ½ cup olive oil
  • 4 tsp 12g diamond crystal kosher salt *
  • 6 cloves garlic, grated
  • 1 Tbsp oregano
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 2 pounds yukon gold potatoes, scrubbed clean and cut into large wedges
  • 6 bone in skin on chicken thighs, (about 2 lbs)
  • ¼ cup chicken stock
  • 2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 Tbsp chopped fresh dill

Instructions:

  • Preheat oven to 425ºF.
  • In a small bowl combine lemon juice, olive oil, salt, garlic, oregano and black pepper.
  • Add potatoes to a 9×13” baking dish and pour half of the lemon olive oil mixture over. Toss to coat.
  • Add chicken thighs on top of potatoes and pour the remainder of the mixture over the chicken. Rub mixture all over.
  • Pour chicken stock around the chicken and over the potatoes.
  • Bake until chicken is deep golden and cooked through, about 50-60 minutes.
  • Remove chicken thighs from pan and set aside to rest. Turn broiler on to high and broil potatoes until golden brown, about 6-8 minutes.
  • Top potatoes with parsley and dill.
  • Serve chicken with potatoes and pan juices. The pan juices are so good in this don’t skip them!

Notes:

  • If you don’t have diamond crystal kosher salt, use the weight measurement for the salt, as 4 tsp of Morton kosher salt will yield a much different (too salty) result.
