Notes
Tips for Greek Chicken
- I prefer to use bone-in skin-on chicken thighs for this recipe because they are super flavorful and they don’t dry out in the oven. You could also use chicken drumsticks or bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts if you prefer. The bone-in chicken breasts will take longer to cook than the chicken thighs, so keep that in mind.
- If you’d like, you can reserve a tablespoon or two of the marinade before you add the chicken and potatoes, then drizzle that reserved marinade over the cooked dish for added flavor.
- Round out your meal with a loaf of crusty bread or some mixed greens coated in Greek salad dressing.
- This dish is great for meal prep; it will keep in the fridge for up to 4 days.
