Hi everyone to another episode of Demetrius dishes today we’re going to be making another easy and delicious sheet pan dinner we’re going to be making Greek style chicken drumsticks and potatoes with a nice lemony sauce it’s going to come together in no time literally it takes five minutes to put the whole thing

Together you bake it in the oven for under an hour and you’ll have a meal on your table that the whole family will love let’s get started okay we’re going to begin with the marinade so the marinade of course is going to have lots of lemon juice in it so I’m gonna juice

About three maybe four lemons we’re gonna need at least a quarter of a cup of lemon juice I always add more because we like it extra lemony but you make it as lemony as you and your family likes it and always use fresh lemons for this don’t buy the canned or bottled lemon

Juice that very acidic nothing compares to fresh lemon juice takes a few seconds to juice them and they have tons of flavor okay so that’s a little bit more than a quarter cup I would say it’s close to a third of a cup but like I

Said you could always add more later but you can take it out but there’s going to be a lot of chicken in here a lot of potatoes they’re gonna soak this up and it’s gonna be so good okay next we need about a quarter to a third of a cup of

Really good quality olive oil some garlic cloves three four five six whatever you like three or four I would say would be the minimum I think six would really be really nice in this and then we’re going to also need about a quarter to half a cup of water but I

Won’t add it in here right away I’ll rinse this out when I pour it over the chicken and the potatoes so over here I have 12 chicken drumsticks I don’t want to touch it by hand because I’ll have to keep washing my hands and I don’t want

To do that while I’m making the video so just chicken drumsticks these have the skin on skin on is fine if you want to take the skin off it’s up to you but 12 are about how many are going to fit in my pan you know without any trouble and

Then one and a half one or one and a half pounds of baking potatoes these are russet potatoes I’ve just peeled them feel free to use those baby potatoes that have the skin on that’s fine too and you can cut these into wedges into rounds whatever you like I feel like

It’s very traditional to have lemony potatoes cut in wedges so that’s what I’m gonna do but you can Cube them like I said or cut them into rounds and I’m just going to throw them in with the chicken this is a no fuss meal okay so

I’m just gonna pour all of this marinade on top we’re gonna add some of the water we’ll start with a quarter of a cup maybe a little more and then I have the spices so two teaspoons of salt I have two tablespoons of dried oregano a heaping teaspoon of dried ground

Coriander a heaping teaspoon of ground cumin a hefty pinch of crushed red pepper flakes mix them all up and just put them on top with some freshly cracked black pepper now if you’re not a fan of cumin or coriander just leave it out no problem traditionally those

Spices are not added to lemony chicken and potatoes but I like to add it because I love the flavor that it lends it makes it nice and warm and earthy the oregano is really all you need with the lemon juice but we like to kick it up so lots of black

Pepper and now I can go in with my hands and just toss this all up if you want to you can do this ahead of time I wouldn’t add the potatoes in here until the very end but you can marinate the chicken for 30 or 40 minutes to kind of absorb all

Of that marinade it’s up to you and then add the potatoes in the end the potatoes tend to turn brown so I wouldn’t put them in until the very end okay so over here I have the pan that I’m going to be baking everything in I have one onion

That I’ve just cut into quarters I’m just going to put it on each side of the pan like that transfer all of the chicken and potatoes and that luscious marinade into this pan also rinse it out I don’t want to waste any of that flavor you’re going to want

To spread everything out into an even layer now I don’t like washing extra things but it’s really hard to marinate the chicken in the flat pan and in this baking pan I feel like it doesn’t coat everything properly that’s why I did it in a big mixing bowl first just wash the

Why is it two seconds to wash it anywhere stick it in the dishwasher and if you really want to save time on washing dishes you can make the marinade in that then put the chicken and potatoes in that that’s one less dish to wash or bowl and make sure that the oven

Is preheated to 425 degrees Fahrenheit this is going to go into the preheated oven and it’s going to bake until the chicken reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit and the potatoes are fork tender that can take anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour keep an eye on it once it comes out

You can just garnish it with some freshly chopped parsley and you can squeeze some more lemon on it it or serve it with lemon wedges I’ll show you what it looks like as soon as it’s done so the chicken sheet pan drumsticks and potatoes are ready they baked in my oven

For 45 minutes then I turned on the broiler element for three or four minutes you definitely want to keep an eye on them because it can burn really quickly I like for it to get a little bit of a Char on top for the potatoes and the drumsticks especially if the

Skin is on it gets nice and crisp it’s up to you if you want to do that step or not it’s still going to be delicious once it came out of the oven I sprinkled some finely chopped parsley on top and it is ready to be served just take a

Look at how soft these potatoes are they literally just melt when the fork touches them the chicken is also perfectly cooked time for the taste test and take a little bit of each one and once it comes out of the oven it’s going to appear like there’s a little bit

Extra liquid in the pan but as it sits the potatoes do absorb it so don’t worry about it I think if there was a little bit more I’d be even happier I love to spoon that sauce over the chicken and the potatoes you can serve this with a nice salad some

Toasted bread Mediterranean rice pilaf cauliflower rice it’s up to you let me know how you’re serving it in the comment section while I take a taste Um so delicious so flavorful that lemon is just the right amount makes it nice and bright those warm spices really make it nice and comforting the whole thing is so delicious I would also serve it with a little dollop of zatziki on the side the exact measurements are on the
