This recipe was found on greecefoods.com I haven't tried it yet, but it looks like a tasty recipe. Prep time includes marinating time overnight. The recipe may take about 2 hours, but most of that is just waiting for the oven. The only real prep is the potatoes. -Update, still haven't made this, but now I really want to! I updated the recipe to match with Reen's comments. Thanks!

Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 pounds skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 pinch cayenne pepper
½ cup fresh lemon juice
½ cup olive oil
6 cloves garlic, minced
3 russet potatoes, peeled and quartered
⅔ cup chicken broth, plus splash to deglaze pan
chopped fresh oregano for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly oil a large roasting pan.
  • Place chicken pieces in large bowl. Season with salt, oregano, pepper, rosemary, and cayenne pepper. Add fresh lemon juice, olive oil, and garlic. Place potatoes in bowl with the chicken; stir together until chicken and potatoes are evenly coated with marinade.
  • Transfer chicken pieces, skin side up, to prepared roasting pan, reserving marinade. Distribute potato pieces among chicken thighs. Drizzle with 2/3 cup chicken broth. Spoon remainder of marinade over chicken and potatoes.
  • Place in preheated oven. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Toss chicken and potatoes, keeping chicken skin side up; continue baking until chicken is browned and cooked through, about 25 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Transfer chicken to serving platter and keep warm.
  • Set oven to broil or highest heat setting. Toss potatoes once again in pan juices. Place pan under broiler and broil until potatoes are caramelized, about 3 minutes. Transfer potatoes to serving platter with chicken.
  • Place roasting pan on stove over medium heat. Add a splash of broth and stir up browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Strain; spoon juices over chicken and potatoes. Top with chopped oregano.

Tips:

  • Use fresh oregano: The flavor of fresh oregano is much more intense than dried, so it's worth the effort to find it. You can usually find it at farmers markets or specialty grocery stores.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking dish: Make sure there is enough space between the chicken pieces so that they can cook evenly.
  • Use a meat thermometer: The best way to make sure the chicken is cooked through is to use a meat thermometer. The internal temperature should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving: This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more flavorful and tender dish.

Conclusion:

Kota riganati is a delicious and easy-to-make Greek dish that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of oregano, lemon, and garlic creates a flavorful and aromatic dish that is sure to please everyone at your table.
