Greek Lemon Chicken and Potatoes

Bone-in chicken thighs and potato wedges roasted together in a lemon, oregano and olive oil marinade until the potatoes turn golden in the pan juices.

Where it comes from

The dish stretches a modest amount of chicken by roasting it with potatoes that absorb the fat and lemon as both cook, a common fix in households where meat was the costlier part of the meal.

What cooks argue about

Cooks disagree over adding stock or water to the pan so the potatoes partly braise before it evaporates, or roasting dry from the start for a crisper edge.
