Ingredients

Scale

Proteins:

  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs

Starches:

  • 4 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks (about 680 grams / 24 ounces)

Seasonings and Liquids:

  • 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) fresh orange juice
  • 3 tablespoons (45 milliliters) olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons (30 grams) Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons (42 grams) honey
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Hot water, as needed
  • Extra honey for drizzling (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the roasting pan and preheat the oven to 350°F, ensuring an even cooking environment for the chicken and potatoes.
  2. Create a vibrant marinade by whisking together zesty orange juice, fruity olive oil, tangy mustard, sweet honey, aromatic oregano, and seasonings in a spacious mixing bowl.
  3. Thoroughly coat potato chunks in the marinade, ensuring each piece is generously covered with the flavorful mixture.
  4. Spread the marinated potatoes across the roasting pan in a single, even layer to promote uniform roasting.
  5. Reuse the marinade bowl to coat chicken thighs, allowing them to absorb the citrusy and herbal flavors.
  6. Carefully position the chicken thighs atop the potatoes in the roasting pan, drizzling any remaining marinade over the entire dish.
  7. Roast in the preheated oven for 1 to 1½ hours, monitoring the chicken’s internal temperature until it reaches 165°F and potatoes become tender and golden.
  8. Midway through cooking, inspect the pan and add a small amount of hot water if the potatoes appear to be drying out.
  9. Once done, remove from oven and serve immediately, optionally garnishing with an extra drizzle of honey for enhanced sweetness.

Notes

  • Marinate chicken ahead of time for deeper flavor infusion and more tender meat texture.
  • Use bone-in chicken thighs for juicier results and richer taste compared to boneless cuts.
  • Select waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or red potatoes that hold shape better during roasting and absorb marinades beautifully.
  • Gluten-free adaptation: Confirm mustard is gluten-free and replace with Dijon or whole grain mustard if needed.
