Oven Roasted Chicken Wing

Ingredients:

– For the Chicken:

– 1 kg (2.2 lbs) chicken pieces (drumsticks, thighs, or wings)

– 3 tbsp olive oil

– 3 cloves garlic, minced

– 1 lemon (juice + zest)

– 2 tsp dried oregano or Italian seasoning

– 1 tsp paprika

– 1 tsp black pepper

– 1 tsp salt

– 1 tbsp honey

– Fresh parsley or cilantro (for garnish)

– For the Potatoes:

– 4 medium potatoes, cut into wedges

– 2 tbsp olive oil

– 1 tsp garlic powder

– 1 tsp paprika

– 1 tsp salt

– ½ tsp black pepper

– Fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

2. Marinate Chicken:

– In a bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, oregano, paprika, black pepper, and salt.

– Coat the chicken pieces thoroughly in the marinade. Cover and marinate for at least 30 minutes (or overnight in the fridge for deeper flavor).

3. Prepare Potatoes:

– Toss the potato wedges in olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

4. Bake:

– Arrange the marinated chicken on one side of a large baking tray and the potato wedges on the other side.

– Drizzle some of the remaining chicken marinade over the potatoes for added flavor.

– Bake in the preheated oven for 35-45 minutes, flipping the chicken and potatoes halfway through. The chicken should be golden and cooked through (internal temperature of 75°C/165°F), and the potatoes should be crispy and tender.

5. Add Honey Glaze:

– In the last 5 minutes of baking, brush the chicken with honey for a glossy finish.

6. Serve:

– Garnish the chicken and potatoes with freshly chopped parsley or cilantro.

– Serve with lemon slices for extra zest.

Enjoy your delicious, lemony roasted chicken and potatoes!
