Ingredient notes and alternatives

Required:
Chicken: This time I used thigh skin, applied bone bones and trimmed the excess fat, but you can use drumsticks or chicken breast. Potatoes: Baby potatoes cut in half are also perfect for cooking. You can also use all-purpose potatoes such as yellow/Yukon gold and white potatoes. Don’t make them too big. Otherwise, they will take too long to cook. Onion: I like to add onions and add flavors, but I can omit them. Lemon Garlic Marinade/Sauce: Combine olive oil, lemon (juice and crust), garlic, oregano, rosemary, salt and pepper. For a bit of kick, you can add a bit of red chili flakes. Garnish with fresh oregano and/or parsley leaves (0ptinal).
