Greek chicken bake with potatoes

Step 1

Preheat oven to 200°C/392°F fan-forced.

Step 2

Line a large (about 30cm x 40cm) baking tray. Set aside.

Step 3

Combine all marinade ingredients in a small bowl and mix well. Set aside.

Step 4

Peel and cut potatoes into small cubes. About 3cm/1inch sized cubes. (note 1)

Step 5

In a large (ideally rectangular) bowl, add chicken drumsticks and half of the marinade. Mix thoroughly.

Step 6

Place potato cubes in the lined baking tray and toss through with remaining marinade.

Step 7

Push potatoes to the borders of the baking tray, making room in the centre for the chicken pieces. Ensure potatoes are spread across in a single layer.

Step 8

With a pair of tongs, place chicken drumsticks onto the lined tray, in the middle. Keep the leftover marinade in the mixing bowl. You'll need it later. (note 2)

Step 9

Bake for 30 minutes, in the mid-top shelf of the oven.

Step 10

Take the tray out of the oven, turn the oven up to 220°C/430°F fan-forced.

Step 11

Brush chicken and potatoes with the reserved marinade. Turn the chicken over and place back into the top shelf of the oven for 5 more minutes. (note 2)

Step 12

Loosely cover with foil and rest for about 5 - 10 minutes then serve.
