Description

Ingredients

• 4 skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs
• ¼ cup lemon juice (juice of 1 lemon)
• 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
• 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
• 4 large garlic cloves, 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 (capsicum), deseeded and cut into wedges
• 1 large zucchini, sliced
• 4 tablespoons pitted Kalamata olives
• Lemon slices, to serve

Directions

• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Arrange the vegetables around each chicken thigh. Drizzle the vegetables with the remaining marinade, tossing them through the oil mixture to evenly coat.
• 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 for about 5-10 minutes, or until chicken and potatoes are crispy and golden browned. Serve with olives and lemon slices.
