How to Make Sopranos Baked Chicken With Potatoes Lemon Oregano

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
  2. Juice one lemon (about 2 tablespoons juice). Slice the other lemon into 8 wedges.
  3. Place 4 lbs bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs and 2 lbs small red potatoes (halved or quartered if large) in a large roasting pan. Ensure they are in a single layer.
  4. Drizzle 2 tablespoons olive oil over the chicken and potatoes.
  5. Sprinkle generously with 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 2 cloves minced garlic, salt, and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  6. Toss gently to coat everything evenly, then arrange the chicken skin-side up.
  7. Tuck the lemon wedges and potatoes around the chicken pieces.
  8. Bake for 45 minutes.
  9. Baste chicken and potatoes with pan juices.
  10. Continue baking, basting occasionally, for another 15-30 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and the potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork. Internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).
  11. Transfer the chicken, potatoes, and lemon wedges to a serving platter.
  12. Spoon the pan juices over the chicken and potatoes before serving.
