Spicy, sweet honey meets seared chicken, lemony potatoes and tangy feta for a one-pan dinner.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 pounds small bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, excess skin and fat trimmed (about 6 thighs)
- 1 tablespoon plus a pinch of kosher salt, divided
- 1 1/2 pounds small fingerling potatoes, scrubbed and halved lengthwise
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (from 2 lemons), divided
- 2 tablespoons extra-hot hot honey (such as mike’s hot honey extra hot) (see note)
- 3 ounces feta cheese, crumbled (about 2/3 cup)
- chopped fresh dill, for garnish
Directions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Heat oil in a 12-inch ovenproof skillet over medium-high; swirl to coat pan. Sprinkle chicken thighs all over with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Place chicken, skin side down, in hot oil. Cook, undisturbed, until skin is golden brown, 10 to 14 minutes. Transfer chicken, skin side up, to a plate. Spoon 1 tablespoon drippings into a small bowl; reserve about 2 tablespoons drippings in skillet.
- Add potatoes, oregano, and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt to drippings in skillet. Stir to combine; spread in an even layer. Transfer to preheated oven; roast until potatoes are nearly tender, 13 to 15 minutes.
- Remove skillet from oven. Stir potatoes. Nestle chicken, skin side up, in and on top of potato mixture. Drizzle with 3 tablespoons lemon juice. Roast at 425°F until a thermometer inserted in thickest portion of chicken registers 165°F and potatoes are tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from oven; let rest 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, whisk hot honey, remaining 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and remaining pinch of salt into reserved drippings until well combined.
- Sprinkle feta evenly over chicken mixture. Drizzle evenly with honey mixture and garnish with dill.
