Steps

1. 1

   In a bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, chopped parsley, oregano, cumin, coriander, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the chicken marinade.

2. 2

   Add the chicken thighs or breasts to the bowl and coat well with the marinade.

3. 3

   Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight in the refrigerator for better flavor.

   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

   In a baking dish, toss the cut baby potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and oregano until evenly coated.

6. 6

   Place the marinated chicken on top of the potatoes in the baking dish and pour any remaining marinade over the top.

7. 7

   Cover the dish (with foil or a lid) and bake for 50–55 minutes.

8. 8

   Uncover the dish and continue to bake for another 15–20 minutes until the chicken is golden and the potatoes are tender.

9. 9

   Optional: Broil for 2–3 minutes at the end for extra color and crispiness.
