Ingredients
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 3 lemons lemon juice
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp thyme
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 5 yellow-fleshed potatoes
- 10 garlic cloves
- 6 chicken drumsticks and legs, skin‑on, bone‑in
Instructions
- 1Preheat the oven to 400°F (392°F) and move the rack to the upper third of the oven.
- 2In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, fresh lemon juice, salt, black pepper, dried oregano, thyme, and garlic powder; whisk until well blended.
- 3Place the potato wedges in a 9‑x‑13‑inch casserole or roasting pan, spreading them in an even layer.
- 4Add the smashed garlic cloves over the potatoes.
- 5Pour half of the olive‑oil‑lemon mixture over the potatoes and garlic, then toss gently to coat the potatoes evenly.
- 6Lay the chicken drumsticks and legs on top of the potatoes, arranging them in a single layer.
- 7Drizzle the remaining half of the oil‑lemon mixture over the chicken and potatoes; use your hands to rub the seasoning into the chicken and potatoes for an even coating.
- 8Transfer the pan to the preheated oven and bake for 70 minutes, or until the potatoes are very tender and the chicken skin is deep golden‑brown.
- 9Check the internal temperature of the chicken; it should reach at least 175°F (176°F). If needed, continue baking a few more minutes.
- 10Remove the pan from the oven and let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving, allowing the juices to redistribute.
