Method

  1. 1

    Heat the oven to 200C (180C fan, gas 6). Toss the potatoes with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large roasting tray.

  2. 2

    Rub the chicken thighs with the remaining olive oil and garlic, then arrange skin-side up among the potatoes with the lemon slices, olives and thyme.

  3. 3

    Roast for 40-45 minutes until the chicken is cooked through with no pink remaining, the skin is golden and the potatoes are tender.

  4. 4

    Rest for a few minutes before serving straight from the tray.
