Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, mix together olive oil, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, rosemary, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.
  2. Add the chicken thighs and diced red potatoes, ensuring they are coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Prepare a lined baking sheet for easy cleanup.

  5. Bake for about 40 minutes until chicken is golden brown and reaches a temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  6. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before garnishing with chopped herbs.
