Ingredients

  • 15 chicken thighs

  • 8 large potatoes, peeled and quartered

  • 1 cup vegetable oil, or as needed

  • ½ cup wine vinegar

  • 5 lemons, juiced

  • 10 cloves crushed garlic

  • 2 tablespoons dried oregano

  • 2 tablespoons dried parsley

  • 1 onion, minced

  • salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. Arrange the chicken pieces in a 10x15-inch enameled roasting pan. In a large skillet over medium high heat, fry the potatoes in 1/2-inch-deep oil until golden brown, then put them in the pan with the chicken.

  3. Combine the vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, parsley, onion, salt and pepper with the 1/2 cup reserved frying oil and pour this mixture over the chicken and potatoes.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 1/4 hours, basting the chicken and potatoes with the sauce mixture. Let rest for 5 minutes and serve hot.
