Greek-Style Roasted Chicken Legs, Potatoes and Capers

I tried this recipe on the recommendation from Midwestguy, and all I can say is that it's absolutely wonderful. I followed the suggestion of marinating the chicken in the olive oil, lemon juice, 1/2 cup white wine, oregano, rosemary and salt and pepper. I just used the marinade over the chicken when it was time to put it in the oven. Fantastic! After I took it out of the oven I put a generous handful of feta cheese over it. YUM! Thank you for such a great recipe!

This was really good! I do wish the lemon flavor had been a little stronger but other than that it was great. Next time I may try marinating the chicken ahead of time as another reviewer suggested.

This was just OK for me. I think the potatoes were just too lemony for me. My Dad makes a similar dish (without the lemon), but I can't seem to duplicate the wonderful taste of his chix and potatoes. But, what I may do, and what might help is to take some from this recipe and combine with my Dads.

Delicious! I followed another reviewer's suggestion and marinated the chicken with the oil and herbs and 1/2C of white wine for several hours first. I also browned the chicken before putting in the over.

The only prep that was even approaching difficult was cutting up the potatoes. Very fast to get together and slide into the oven. I liked it quite a lot, but it did not appeal to my sons (both over 18, so it's not a "kid" thing). I would not hesitate to serve this to company - the boys will just have to eat elsewhere when I do :)

Opa !!!! Opa !!! This is great!!! I love this savory dish and it's easy to make!!! The chicken was a perfect 180 degrees F in this cooking time and the potatoes were soft and cooked through. The dressing and flavors were wonderful, I love the oregano and capers, and I put just a bit of dried rosemary sprigs for the rosemary to be subtle in flavor and it was perfect!! Love the lemony juices that cook down into a wonderful flavoring for the potatoes. Will definitely make this one again and again, thanks so much!!!

Excellent! I had to omit the capers because of my son. However, this dish is amazing and I will be preparing it again!

This has to be one of my favorite meals-simply DELICIOUS! I normally use thighs or breasts-whatever I have on hand-I use a thermometer to insure perfect bake time. I also like to add veggies to the pan to make a one-dish meal-mushrooms, green beans, cherry tomatoes. I can put it all together in the morning and just pop it in the oven that evening. I like to serve w/ Kittencal's Tzatziki (Greek Cucumber and Yogurt Salad) and Kittencal's Famous Greek Salad. Thank you, Kitten, for a fabulous recipe!

This recipe was quite easy to put together, and very tasty1 Differences in how we made it were: 1) instead of baking, we layered it in our large Le Creuset and cooked it on the stovetop, and 2) I had some tan sweet potatoes - the dense not-very-sweet kind - to use up and so used them in place of regular potatoes. The dish came out quite nicely! With the leftovers, I removed the chicken from the bone, added more onion and chunked potatoes, and now we have a nice stew. :) Thanks, Kittencal!

A fantastic recipe. I ommited the capers and cooked it slowly for about three hours. Just what I was looking for, the whole family loved it, thank you.

Thanks Kittencal! Great recipe. I added WAY more garlic and lemon and marinated the chicken for 4 hours in the herbs, oil and a half cup of white wine. Everything was amazing. Recipe did not say when to add the capers. I just added them halfway through cooking. DELICIOUS!

With the weather suddenly turning cooler, we enjoyed this tremendously. I didn't change a thing. Garlicky, lemony, an excellent blend of herbs, and I just loved the inclusion of capers. A truly delicious recipe! Thanks for sharing.
