Chicken and potato wedges are a picky-eaters ideal meal. The skin on the chicken gets super crispy, and so do the pota­toes. The best part is that both ele­ments of this dish can be cooked at the same time in the oven! This baked Garlicky Greek Chicken and Potatoes will impress the pick­i­est of eaters in your house­hold. Marinade the chicken for as much time as you can, before toss­ing with pota­toes and bak­ing until every­thing is crispy. The chicken and pota­toes are then topped with a gar­lic butter/olive oil mix­ture that will make your mouth water. This dish is low-main­te­nance and seri­ously deli­cious!

Directions

  • In a large reseal­able plas­tic bag, add chicken thighs, lemon juice, oregano sprigs, olive oil, salt, and pep­per. Close the bag and shake until fully com­bined. Refrigerate for 2 – 12 hours.
  • When ready to cook, pre­heat the oven to 350.
  • Cut pota­toes into wedges. Lay out on one side of a large bak­ing sheet. Lay your mar­i­nated chicken out on the other side of the tray. Toss the pota­toes with the chicken mari­nade so they are fla­vored with the mari­nade.

  • Remove the chicken and pota­toes from the oven. Top every­thing with your gar­lic but­ter and flaky sea salt. Serve imme­di­ately.
