Greek Lemon Rosemary Chicken New Potatoes Recipes

GREEK LEMON CHICKEN AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly oil a large roasting pan.
• Place chicken pieces in large bowl. Season with salt, oregano, pepper, rosemary, and cayenne pepper. Add fresh lemon juice, olive oil, and garlic. Place potatoes in bowl with the chicken; stir together until chicken and potatoes are evenly coated with marinade.
• Transfer chicken pieces, skin side up, to prepared roasting pan, reserving marinade. Distribute potato pieces among chicken thighs. Drizzle with 2/3 cup chicken broth. Spoon remainder of marinade over chicken and potatoes.
• Place in preheated oven. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Toss chicken and potatoes, keeping chicken skin side up; continue baking until chicken is browned and cooked through, about 25 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Transfer chicken to serving platter and keep warm.
• Set oven to broil or highest heat setting. Toss potatoes once again in pan juices. Place pan under broiler and broil until potatoes are caramelized, about 3 minutes. Transfer potatoes to serving platter with chicken.
• Place roasting pan on stove over medium heat. Add a splash of broth and stir up browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Strain; spoon juices over chicken and potatoes. Top with chopped oregano.

GREEK LEMON CHICKEN WITH POTATOES

Steps:

• (I often add about 1 tsp of crumbled, dried rosemary to the potatoes and 1/2 a teaspoon to the chicken- this is fantastic and it then becomes oregano-rosemary-lemon-garlic chicken).
• Wash the chicken well and pat dry.
• Combine all the remaining ingredients and massage the chicken, inside and out, with this mixture. Put the chicken in a big bowl and put in the fridge while you prepare the potatoes.
• Put the potatoes and all remaining ingredients into a large baking pan. Wash your hands and put them in the pan and toss the potatoes around to coat with other ingredients.
• Put in the oven and crank up the heat to 250°C (480F).
• Start roasting the potatoes and when they're golden-brown, stir them to bring the white sides up and push to the side of the pan to make room in the middle for the chicken.
• If all the water has evaporated, and potatoes have started to stick to pan, add 1/2 cup more.
• Add the chicken, breast-side down, and pour any juices that have accumulated in bowl over.
• Return to very hot oven and roast until chicken is golden-brown.
• Turn over, breast-side up and continue roasting until chicken is nearly as golden-brown on other side.
• At this point, I turn the oven off- don't open it- and leave the chicken in for another 1/2 an hour. I like to think I'm saving energy this way, but it also cooks the chicken beautifully.
• In all, I'd say from when you put the potatoes into the cold oven to when you remove the chicken to carve after sitting in off oven for 1/2 an hour, we're talking 2 hours.
• Serve with pan juices.

LEMON POTATOES

Steps:

• Set up a grill for cooking with indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only.
• Place the potatoes in a cast-iron pan. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the lemon zest and juice, olive oil, mustard, garlic, oregano, a pinch of salt, some black pepper and 2 cups water. Pour the mixture over the potatoes and toss to combine. Turn the potatoes so they are cut-side down in the pan.
• Place the pan on the indirect-heat side of the grill, then close the lid and bake until the potatoes are tender, about 40 minutes. Remove from the grill and serve with a squeeze of lemon, a sprinkle of sea salt and a drizzle of olive oil.

GREEK LEMON ROSEMARY POTATOES

Steps:

• Add the potato wedges to a large bowl filled with very cold water and let them soak for 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, add chicken broth, olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic powder. Whisk the ingredients until very well blended and set aside for now.
• Preheat oven to 375ºF/190ºC and grease a baking dish; set aside.
• An hour later, drain and place the potatoes in a single layer on a cutting board lined with a clean dish towel. Put another clean dish towel on top and dry them.
• Transfer them to a large bowl and pour the seasoned dressing on top. Toss them very well to coat and transfer the wedges to the prepared baking dish.
• Arrange them in a single layer before seasoning generously with ground sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
• Transfer to the preheated oven and cook for 1:00 hour.
• About 40 minutes later, remove from the heat and flip the wedges. Sprinkle on chopped rosemary, add a little bit more ground sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
• Return back to the oven for the remaining 20 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and flip them again.
• Turn the temperature to broil and return the dish back to the oven; set the timer for 10 minutes.
• When time is up, remove the potatoes from the heat and flip them once again.
• Place the dish back under the broiler for another 5 minutes before taking the potato wedges out from the heat, flip them for the last time and return them back under the broiler for the final 5 minutes.
• Transfer them to a serving dish, sprinkle on some chopped parsley and garnish with lemon wedges.
