    Ingredients

    Amounts for
    • 5 tbsp olive oil, for the marinade
    • 2 ¼ tbsp lemon juice, for the marinade
    • 3 ½ cloves of garlic, minced
    • 6g fresh thyme, leaves picked
    • 1.1kg bone-in chicken thigh
    • 550g baby potatoes, halved
    • 1 ¼ lemons, sliced
    • 6g fresh parsley, finely chopped

    Method

    1. Whisk together a marinade of lemon juice, olive oil, thyme and garlic, and season it with salt and pepper.

    2. Set half of it aside for the potatoes. Coat the chicken in the other half, turning the pieces over, then give it 30 minutes in the fridge.

    3. Grease a roasting tray large enough to hold the chicken and potatoes in one layer. Heat the oven to 220°C (fan 200°C).

    4. Move the chicken onto the tray. Throw away the marinade left in its bowl, since raw meat has sat in it. Tuck the potatoes in around the chicken without overlapping them.

    5. Pour the marinade you set aside over the potatoes. Arrange the lemon slices over the top.

    6. Roast it for 40-45 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender. For extra crispness, finish it under the grill for 3-4 minutes.

    7. Scatter the parsley over and bring the tray to the table.
