  • Tip

    Swapping wine

    If you don't want to use the wine, just swap for extra chicken stock.

Method

  1. Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Tip the potatoes into a large shallow roasting tin, drizzle with 1 tbsp of the oil, season well and toss to coat. Roast for 20 mins until starting to crisp.
  2. Season the chicken thighs and add to the roasting tin along with the shallots, bacon lardons, lemon wedges and oregano. Drizzle with the remaining oil, then return to the oven for 20 mins. Pour over the wine and stock, and roast for a final 20 mins until the chicken is golden and cooked through.

Made without bacon lardons and the lemon flavour really comes through. Also used fresh thyme instead of oregano and added garlic!

Loved this idea for a quick and easy (it would have to be!) chicken recipe. Third time I have cooked it and it really is fool-proof and tastes great!

Will make this again, but next time will use breasts as the thighs were so very fatty. So much so, that even my easy-to-please husband had trouble eating them. This is, of course, not the fault of the recipe. Maybe our Aussie chickens are a bit fattier than your British ones?? Yesterday, when I made this dish, the temperature was 50 degrees celsius (yes, 50), so the last thing we felt like eating was fat and grease. Very quick and easy, and am sure it will be a winner with chicken breasts.

This was easy and delicious. I used boneless skinless chicken breasts instead of thighs and it still worked well. The broth keeps the chicken so nice and moist!

Delicious - I could not get fresh oregano so used a liberal sprinkling of dried oregano and served with steamed curly kale and crusty bread.

Really easy but very tasty recipe. Just close the oven door and wait for a cheap but tasty supper.

Delicious! Easy to put together and forget about in the oven til its done. The potatoes soaked up all the stock and wine but were still crispy on the outside, so just tasted divine!
