Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- 4 chicken thighs (skin on and bone-in )
- ¼ cup lemon juice (juice of 1 lemon)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 4 cloves garlic (crushed)
- 3 teaspoons dried basil
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 2 teaspoons dried parsley
- 2 teaspoons salt (plus extra)
- 8 baby potatoes (halved)
- 1 red onion (cut into wedges)
- 1 red bell pepper (deseeded and cut into wedges)
- 1 zucchini (large, sliced)
- 4 tablespoons pitted Kalamata olives
- 4 lemon slices (to serve)
Instructions
- 1
Pat thighs dry with paper towel. In a shallow dish, combine the lemon juice, 2 tablespoon of olive oil, vinegar, garlic, basil, oregano, parsley and salt. Pour out half of the marinade and store in a jug to use later.
- 2
Add the chicken to the marinade in the dish and coat evenly. Cover and marinate for 15 minutes if rushed; 1 hour if time allows; or over night, turning each chicken thigh occasionally in the marinade.
- 3
Preheat oven to 220°C | 430°F. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large oven-proof pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken on both sides until golden browned (about 4 minutes each side). Drain some of the excess fat, leaving about a tablespoon for added flavour.
- 4
Arrange the vegetables around each chicken thigh. Drizzle the vegetables with the remaining marinade, tossing them through the oil mixture to evenly coat.
- 5
Cover skillet or dish with lid (or foil), and bake until the potatoes are soft and the chicken is completely cooked through (about 35 minutes). Change oven setting to grill / broil on a medium heat setting; uncover and cook for about 5-10 minutes, or until chicken and potatoes are crispy and golden browned. Serve with olives and lemon slices.
