Sheet Pan Roasted Greek Chicken with Garlic Potatoes
Description
Sheet Pan Roasted Greek Chicken with Garlic Potatoes combines bone-in chicken pieces and quartered red potatoes, coated in a vibrant seasoning mix of freshly minced garlic, lemon juice and zest, extra virgin olive oil, and a blend of fresh herbs: oregano, thyme, and rosemary. Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper season the dish further.
Drying the chicken before seasoning ensures the marinade adheres well and roasting produces a crisp skin with tender meat. The potatoes roast alongside the chicken, absorbing the herb and lemon flavors while developing a golden-brown, crispy exterior. This one-pan approach simplifies cooking and cleanup.
The dish can be garnished with lemon slices for extra brightness and served with a fresh Greek salad to complement the flavors. The use of fresh herbs and lemon creates a Mediterranean flavor profile that is fresh and aromatic.
The roasting time of about 60 to 75 minutes ensures that both chicken and potatoes are cooked through with a nicely browned surface, offering a balance of textures.
Ingredients
- 2 ½ to 3 lbs chicken cut into 8 pieces, whole
- 1 ½ lb red potato cut into quarters, small
Seasoning Mixture:
- lemon juice of 2 large lemons
- lemon zest of 1
- 12 cloves garlic minced
- ⅔ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 TB oregano chopped, fresh
- 2 TB thyme fresh leaves
- 2 TB rosemary chopped, fresh
- 3 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp black pepper freshly ground
- lemon slices for garnish, optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F with rack on middle position. Generously grease a large rimmed sheet pan; set aside.
- Use paper towels to thoroughly dry chicken pieces to remove all excess moisture (this ensures that seasoning will adhere to chicken and also allow for much better roasting results.) Set aside.
- Make the Seasoning Mixture: In a bowl, combine all seasoning mixture ingredients and mix well to combine. Divide mixture in half.
- Rub half of the seasoning mixture onto chicken pieces; ensure that much of the mixture is spread evenly under the skin. Place chicken pieces skin-side-up onto greased sheet pan.
- Mix remaining half of the seasoning mixture with potatoes, ensuring even coating. Place potatoes evenly around chicken on the sheet pan. Use rubber spatula to transfer any leftover seasoning mixture evenly over the chicken and potatoes.
- Roast chicken and potatoes for 60-75 minutes, or just until chicken and potatoes are nicely browned and crispy on top. Serve with sauce drippings and lemon wedges, if desired.
Notes
- Chopped Greek Salad pairs well as a side to enhance the meal.
