For the chicken:

Fremgangsmåte

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

In a large bowl, whisk together the ingredients of the marinade until well combined: olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, dijon mustard, oregano, paprika, salt and pepper.

Add the potatoes, lemon slices, and onions to a large sheet pan. Pour 1/3 cup of the marinade over the potatoes, lemon slices and onions and toss with your hands to coat, then spread out the potatoes, onions and lemon slices evenly on the sheet pan. If using fingerling potatoes, place them flesh side down to encourage browning. Roast in the oven for 25 minutes.

After putting the potatoes in the oven, marinate the chicken: add the chicken to the remaining marinade in the large bowl and use tongs to coat the chicken in the marinade. Set aside.

After 25 minutes, remove the sheet pan from the oven and use a spatula to flip the potatoes. Allow excess marinade to drip off chicken (discard remaining marinade in the bowl) then nestle the chicken thighs onto the pan in between potatoes whenever you can fit them. Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for 15 to 20 more minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and potatoes are tender. The lemons will caramelize and the chicken will be nice and golden brown and juicy with flavor.

Garnish with crumbled feta, parsley, dill, red pepper flakes (if you like a little heat!) and extra salt and pepper. Enjoy!
