The first time I tasted Lebanese Baked Garlic Lemon Chicken and Potatoes, it was like a symphony of flavors dancing on my tongue.

Ingredients

Scale

4 chicken thighs

4 large potatoes, peeled and quartered

6 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 cup olive oil

Juice of 2 lemons

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Optional: fresh parsley for garnish


Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine the chicken thighs with olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and oregano. Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.

2. While the chicken marinates, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the quartered potatoes in olive oil, salt, and pepper, ensuring they’re evenly coated.

3. Arrange the marinated chicken and potatoes in a baking dish. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are golden brown.

Notes

For a deeper flavor, marinate the chicken overnight in the refrigerator. This allows the spices to penetrate the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.

Cut the potatoes into uniform sizes to ensure even cooking. You can also parboil them for a few minutes to speed up the baking process.

For a crispy finish, broil the dish for the last 5 minutes. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
