Ingredients
Method
Tap a step once you've finished it.
- Heat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan).
- Arrange the chicken pieces and potatoes in a single layer in a large, deep baking dish or tray.
- Mix the oil with the lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper, pour it over the chicken and potatoes and toss well.
- Pour the stock around them, cover with foil and roast for 25 minutes.
- Remove the foil and roast for another 40-50 minutes, turning and basting with the juices every 15 minutes, until the chicken is golden brown, the potatoes are tender and the juices have thickened.
- Serve with lemon wedges and the juices spooned from the bottom of the tray.

Tips
- Leave the potatoes in large pieces so they don't fall apart as they roast.
- After the first, foil-covered stage, the colour comes during roasting: don't skip taking off the foil.
- Use fresh lemons, not bottled juice; the aroma is far fuller.
Frequently asked questions
Can I make it ahead?
You can do the base (the marinade): the marinated chicken can wait in the fridge for 1 day. The finished dish is good the next day too.
What should I serve it with?
With a Greek salad or green beans, and fresh bread to mop up the juices.
