Ingredients
- 8 chicken thighs, skin on
- 800g potatoes, cut into chunks
- 1 garlic bulb, broken into cloves, skin left on
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 200ml chicken stock
- 1 lemon, halved
- 2 courgettes (zucchini), cut into thick batons
- 1 red chilli, deseeded and sliced
- Large handful basil leaves, torn
- 1 tsp sea salt (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 tsp dried oregano (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas 7 (425°F/400°F fan).
- 2
Place chicken thighs skin-side up in a large roasting tin or baking dish. Arrange potato chunks around the chicken.
- 3
Lightly crush the garlic cloves with the flat side of a knife (keeping skins on) and nestle them among the chicken pieces.
- 4
Drizzle olive oil and chicken stock over everything. Season generously with salt, pepper, and oregano if using.
- 5
Squeeze the juice from the lemon halves over the chicken and potatoes, then place the empty lemon halves in the tin for extra flavor.
- 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, until chicken skin is starting to crisp and potatoes are beginning to soften.
- 7
Remove from oven and add courgette batons and sliced red chilli to the pan. Toss them gently in the pan juices.
- 8
Return to oven and bake for another 15-20 minutes, until chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C), skin is golden and crispy, and vegetables are tender.
- 9
Remove from oven. Stir through torn basil leaves, letting the residual heat wilt them slightly.
- 10
Serve immediately straight from the pan, with crusty bread to soak up the delicious juices.
Pro Tips
💡
Use skin-on chicken thighs for the crispiest results - the skin protects the meat and adds incredible flavor.
💡
Don't peel the garlic cloves - roasting them in their skins makes them sweet and spreadable.
💡
Add the courgettes and chilli later in cooking to keep them tender-crisp and prevent them from becoming mushy.
