Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C).

Peel the potatoes and soak them in water to prevent browning.

Prepare chicken thighs (skin on, bone-in).

Make a marinade with olive oil, fresh lemon juice, and grated garlic cloves.

Cut the potatoes into cubes for even cooking.

Combine chicken and potatoes in a baking tray.

Pour the marinade over the chicken and potatoes and mix well with hands.

Add about a quarter cup of water to the pan.

Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until chicken is fully cooked and potatoes are tender.

Optional: Raise the oven temperature to 450°F (232°C) for the last 10 minutes for color.

Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
