• Potatoes - 300 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, oregano, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice.
3. Add the chicken thighs to the bowl, ensuring they are well coated with the marinade. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.
