Equipment

  • 1 large deep-sided roasting pan

Ingredients

  • 3 lbs bone-in chicken thighs and/or drumbsticks
  • 2 lbs yellow potatoes, peeled and sliced into half or wedges
  • 6 cloves garlic; minced
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • ½ cup lemon juice
  • ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • ⅓ cup olive oil
  • ½ cup finely chopped parsley
  • 1 ½ tsp seasoning salt
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • ¾ tsp black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F.
  • Add the chicken, potatoes and onions to a large deep-sided roasting pan.
  • In a medium bowl, add 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, 1/2 cup lemon juice, 1/3 cup olive oil, 6 cloves of minced garlic, 1/2 cup of minced parsley, 1 1/2 tsp seasoning salt, 1 tsp dried oregano and 3/4 tsp of black pepper. Mix to combine using a spoon or whisk.
  • Pour the lemon and parmesan mixture over the chicken and use your hands to massage the marinade into the chicken and to cover the potatoes.
  • Roast the chicken and potatoes in the oven for 45-60 minutes turning the potatoes and chicken over with a spoon halfway through. This will help them to get recoated with the marinade and to also cook more evenly.
  • Continue to roast until the potatoes are fork tender and the thickest piece of chicken reaches an internal temperature of 160°F. Serve hot.
