Ingredients
Chicken Thighs: 1 kg (bone-in or boneless, skin-on or skinless)
Olive Oil: For spreading in the baking dish
Potato: 1, thinly sliced
Bacon: Pieces, to taste
For the Seasoning
Mayonnaise: 1/2 cup
Lemon Juice: 2 tablespoons
Parsley: 2 tablespoons, chopped
Garlic: 3 cloves, minced
Salt: 1 teaspoon
Instructions
1. Prepare the Chicken Seasoning
In a blender or food processor, combine:
Mayonnaise
Lemon juice
Parsley
Minced garlic
Salt
Blend until smooth and well combined.
2. Marinate the Chicken
Arrange the chicken thighs in a baking sheet or shallow dish.
Pour the prepared seasoning over the chicken, ensuring even coverage.
Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or up to 1 hour for a deeper flavor).
3. Prepare for Baking
Preheat your oven to 380°F (190°C).
Lightly spread olive oil in a baking dish to prevent sticking.
Arrange the marinated chicken thighs and sliced potatoes in the dish.
Sprinkle bacon pieces over the top for extra flavor.
4. Bake the Chicken
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes to allow the chicken and bacon to crisp up and turn golden brown.
5. Serve and Enjoy
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after baking.
Serve alongside the roasted potatoes and bacon. Add a side salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
Tips for Success
Customize the Seasoning: Adjust the amount of garlic, lemon juice, or parsley based on your preference. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
Alternative Cuts: This recipe works well with chicken breasts, drumsticks, or even a whole chicken.
Extra Crispy Finish: For even crispier chicken, broil for the last 3–5 minutes of cooking.
Potato Variations: Add sweet potatoes, carrots, or parsnips for a colorful and nutritious twist.
