Ohjeet

Preheat the oven – Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F) (200°C/400°F fan-forced).

Prepare the marinade – In a jug, combine all the marinade ingredients and set aside.

Prepare the vegetables – Place the potato, onion and capsicum in a large metal baking dish. Add 1 tablespoon of the marinade and toss to coat. Arrange in a single layer.

Marinate the chicken – Add the remaining marinade to the chicken and toss to coat well. Arrange the chicken on top of the vegetables in a single layer.

Roast – Roast for 28 minutes (in the top third of the oven) or until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender. Turn the oven to high grill (broiler) and cook for a further 2 minutes to lightly char and crisp the edges.

Finish – Scatter with feta and herbs. Drizzle with extra olive oil and finish with cracked black pepper.

Serve – Serve with toasted pita, tzatziki and lemon wedges.

1. Can I use chicken breast instead of chicken thighs?

Yes, but I recommend adjusting the method slightly so everything cooks properly. Because chicken breast cooks faster than thigh, I like to give the potatoes a head start. Roast the sliced potatoes, onion and capsicum (bell pepper) – tossed with 1 tablespoon of the marinade as per the recipe – for 10–12 minutes first.

While they’re in the oven, slice 3–4 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts horizontally to create thinner steaks (about 2–3 cm/¾–1¼ inches thick) and coat them in the remaining marinade. After the vegetables have had their head start, remove the tray, place the chicken on top, then return to the oven for a further 15–18 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. Turn the oven grill (broiler) to high for 2 minutes to caramelise the edges of the chicken and vegetables.
