Notes
*If you don’t have diamond crystal kosher salt, use the weight measurement for the salt, as 4 tsp of Morton kosher salt will yield a much different (too salty) result.
Tried this recipe?Let us know how it was!
So delicious and easy! I’ve watched many of your videos on youtube and have been inspired by them. This was our first time completely following one of your recipes from the website and I am just as impressed as I had hoped! My partner and I and are excited to make it for friends 🙂
This was so good. I used rosemary instead of oregano because that’s what I had. Loved the lemon flavor on the potatoes. I didn’t try the thighs because I don’t like chicken, but the rest of the family said they tasted great. I will definitely make this again.
Great recipe. I did add a few more spices (rosemary and grated ginger) Will be making again.
