Instructions

Instructions

1
In a large bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, minced garlic, dijon mustard, honey, dried oregano, paprika, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken pieces and toss to coat evenly. For the best results, let it marinate in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
2 lb chicken thighs and drumsticks (bone-in, skin-on)
½ cup lemon juice
6 clove garlic (minced)
2 tsp dijon mustard (optional)
2 tbsp honey
1 tbsp dried oregano
1½ tsp paprika
1 tbsp olive oil
½ tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
2
Set the oven to 350 degrees F. Quarter the potatoes and red onions and place them in a large baking dish. Lay the marinated chicken on top, pour in the chicken broth and any remaining marinade. Bake uncovered for 20 minutes.
First bake
5 whole potatoes (small, about 3 inches wide, quartered)
2 whole red onions (quartered)
1 cup chicken broth
3
Remove the dish from the oven and scatter the cherry tomatoes around the chicken. Drizzle with a bit more olive oil and season the tomatoes with salt and pepper. Return to the oven and bake for another 30 to 35 minutes until the chicken is golden and the potatoes are fork-tender.
Second bake
8 oz cherry tomatoes (whole)
1 tbsp olive oil (for drizzling)
4
Pull the dish from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Scatter fresh oregano leaves over the top and serve straight from the baking dish.
1 tbsp fresh oregano (for garnish)
