How it goes

  1. In a bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, 2 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp lemon juice, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.

  2. Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, coat well, and let sit for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight) in the refrigerator.

  3. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).

  4. Place the potato wedges on a large baking sheet, drizzle with 3 tbsp olive oil, ½ cup lemon juice, sprinkle with dried oregano, salt, and pepper, and toss to coat.

  5. Arrange the marinated chicken on top of the potatoes, skin side up, and pour any remaining marinade over the chicken.

  6. Add ½ cup water to the pan to keep the potatoes moist during roasting.

  7. Roast for about 45 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 75°C (165°F) and the potatoes are golden and tender.

  8. Remove from the oven, let rest a few minutes, then serve with a fresh Greek salad or crusty bread.

How this comparison works.

Every recipe here comes from a creator’s own video. ReelsMeals writes it down from the caption and the voiceover, and publishes it with the creator named and the original linked. When three or more versions of a dish from at least two creators are saved, the dish gets a page like this one. Reposts and the same video saved twice count once.

Times and servings come from the saved recipe cards and may be estimated. Ingredient names are matched loosely, so chicken thighs and chicken legs both count as chicken. We don’t rank them by taste: the version shown first is the one ReelsMeals cooks have saved most. Last updated 3 November 2026.
