A super easy but big flavour bomb of a chicken dish. Perhaps a good one-pan alternative to a Sunday roast, but definitely a make ahead, then shove in the oven, midweek crowd-pleaser. The hack is roasting the lemon and giving it a squeeze at the end of the of the cooking. You can leave out the potatoes and just serve on pasta or with salad or veg. But here the stars of the show are the gorgeous Pink Fir Apple potatoes from The Potato Shop in Tenterden

1. Boil the potatoes in plenty of salted water until tender. Drain and allow to cool.
2. Mix together 3tbsp olive oil, zest and juice of 1 lemon (keep the squeezed lemon), oregano, garlic and a pinch of sea salt.
3. Put the chicken thighs in a large roasting tin. Mix over the lemony olive oil marinade, making sure everything is covered. If it looks a bit dry, add a little more oil. Cut the second lemon in half, add to the roasting tin, together with the remains of the lemon used in the marinade. Make sure the chicken is skin side up. Drizzle a little more olive oil over the skin of the chicken, sprinkle with sea salt and pepper. Your dish can sit in the fridge for a few hours until ready to cook.
4. Take the chicken from the fridge prior to cooking to allow it to come to room temperature if you can. Preheat the oven to 200°C. Pop the chicken tray in. After 15 mins, add the potatoes and mix with all the juices, turn the oven down to 180°C. Cook for a further 20 mins. Cooking times will vary according to the size of the thighs and potatoes, but the skin should be golden. Squeeze the roasted lemon over. You will have a delicious sauce. Enjoy with salad, or green veg.

Serve with Nine Oaks Chardonnay 2023

I love the huge variety of gorgeous potatoes from The Potato Shop in Tenterden, all grown on the Morghew Park Estate. I used the Pink Fir Apple for the chicken recipe as they go so crispy and have a fantastic flavour.
With a rich history, the 2,000-acre Morghew Park Estate, in Tenterden, Kent, is primarily known for its variety of potatoes. Like all farms, diversification plays a key role in their business. They are no longer ‘just potatoes’, and now also produce cold pressed rapeseed oil, raw honey, stoneground flour, wild game, and their latest venture, Yukon Gold Potato Vodka. All of the products are grown or produced on the estate. You can visit their farm and purchase directly or online at morghew.com.
