Recipe View Let rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley or dill, if desired. Serve with tzatziki sauce on the side.

For extra crispy potatoes, parboil them for 5-7 minutes before tossing them with the marinade.
Feel free to substitute other vegetables, such as bell peppers, onions, or zucchini.
If you don't have lemon-herb seasoning, you can use a combination of dried thyme, rosemary, and garlic powder.
Bone-in chicken thighs can also be used in place of chicken leg quarters.
To ensure even cooking, don't overcrowd the baking sheet. If necessary, use two baking sheets.

    The lemon-herb marinade is amazing. I've used it on other meats and vegetables too.

  • Wilfredo Hettinger

    I found that 425 was a little too hot for my oven, the chicken was getting too dark. I lowered the temperature to 400 after 30 minutes and that worked well.

  • Ricky Kohler

    This recipe is a lifesaver! So easy to throw together on a busy weeknight, and the whole family loves it.

  • Grady Greenfelder

    My potatoes didn't get as crispy as I would have liked. Next time, I'll try parboiling them first.

  • May Rolfson

    I added some sliced red onions and bell peppers to the dish, and it was delicious!
