Remove the chicken from the refrigerator about 30 minutes prior to cooking. 2. Preheat your oven to 375 F. Grab a large roasting pan big enough to fit the chicken and potatoes in 1 single layer.

Start the potatoes- add the chopped potatoes to the roasting pan, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Toss to combine. Cook for about 20 minutes. 4. Prepare the chicken- rinse the chicken with cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Set aside while you prepare the marinade. 5. For the marinade- combine the first 5 marinade ingredients, zesting the lemons before you juice them (about 2). Whisk to emulsify, and reserve half of the sauce for your vinaigrette. 6. To the marinade bowl, now add the chopped oregano leaves and grated garlic (use a microplane for this). 7.

Pour some of the marinade over the chicken massaging it on top and underneath the skin. Season generously with salt and pepper. 8. Add the rest of the marinade over the potatoes and toss gently. 9. Cut the lemons in half and roast them alongside the chicken. 10. Roast everything in the oven for about 45 minutes or more depending on the size of your chicken. 11.
