Greek-Style Lemon Vinegar Chicken with Oregano Potatoes

Greek-Style Lemon Vinegar Chicken with Oregano Potatoes

A rustic one-pan dish inspired by traditional Greek flavors, where CEREN Lemon Vinegar is used both to marinate and to roast.

Ingredients

  • 6 chicken drumsticks or thighs
  • 4 tablespoons CEREN Lemon Vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • Juice and zest of 1 lemon
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon thyme
  • 500 g baby potatoes, halved
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

Marinate chicken: In a bowl, whisk CEREN Lemon Vinegar, olive oil, lemon juice, zest, garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. Coat chicken thoroughly. Marinate at least 1 hour (overnight for stronger flavor).

Prepare potatoes: Toss halved baby potatoes in some of the same marinade.

Roast together: Arrange chicken and potatoes on a tray. Pour over remaining marinade. Roast at 200°C (400°F) for 40–45 minutes, basting halfway through.

Finish: Chicken should be golden and crisp, potatoes soft with a lemony tang.

Serve: Garnish with extra oregano and lemon slices.

👉 The vinegar acts like a bright flavor enhancer, cutting through richness and creating a glossy finish.
