Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 lemon, zested and juiced
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 medium zucchini, sliced into half-moons
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into strips
  • 1 small red onion, sliced into wedges
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional garnishes: fresh parsley or dill, chopped
  • Optional garnishes: crumbled feta cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a bowl, combine 3 tablespoons olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Whisk until combined.
  3. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Toss the thighs in the marinade, making sure to get under the skin.
  4. In another bowl, toss zucchini slices, red bell pepper strips, red onion wedges, and cherry tomatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  5. Spread the chicken thighs skin side up on one half of a large rimmed sheet pan, leaving space between pieces. Spread the veggies on the other half in a single layer.
  6. Roast in the oven for 35-40 minutes. At about 20 minutes, use tongs to gently stir the veggies and baste the chicken with pan juices.
  7. Check that the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), the skin is golden and crispy, and the veggies are tender with caramelized edges.
  8. Optional: Sprinkle fresh parsley or dill and crumbled feta cheese over the top just before serving.
  9. For extra crispy chicken, broil for the last 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.

Notes

Pat chicken dry before marinating for crispier skin. Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure even roasting. Use bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs for juiciness. Broil last 2-3 minutes for extra crispiness. Parboil potatoes if using as a veggie substitute. Marinate chicken up to 24 hours ahead for deeper flavor. Reheat leftovers in oven to maintain crispiness.
