  I made this for my family for Shabbat dinner. It came out so good. I only did potatoes and red onion but it was perfect. The chicken was juicy but still had a crispy outside. I did splash a little lemon juice over everything and cooked uncovered for 10 mins before serving. Thank you!

  I made this recipe last night. My husband said it was the best chicken he’s ever had!!( he cooks too)He doesn’t give compliments. I did add olives, carrots and champignon mushrooms. I would give this recipe 10/10 The flavours are delectable

  Cooked this for lunch again today. I added carrots and tiny tomberry tomatoes this time. Marinating chicken drumsticks overnight certainly adds more depth of flavour. I've made this several times now, and each time it's a hit. It's an absolutely delicious and versatile dish.

  Thanks Nagi for another midweek lifesaver — these throw-everything-in-a-tray recipes are always a win in my house. I love how the potatoes soak up all that lemon-garlic goodness, especially when they get a little crisp around the edges. I’ll sometimes tuck in a handful of olives or swap in sweet potato if that’s what I’ve got around — still turns out perfect. Definitely bookmarking this one for nights when I want something low effort but full payoff.

  Made this twice now, So good and so simple! Nagi do you think I could do this with fish?
• Wayne on 2025-10-14 (5 stars):
  Delicious. Added carrots, pumpkin pieces and olives as that’s what I had as well as the onions, potatoes etc. A hit with everyone and it’s been asked to be repeated. Thanks Nagi!

  Just made this today - what a winner. I added a quartered beetroot and a quartered round courgette from the garden. It made 5 good sized portions and the marinade gave it such a good flavour. Thank you x.

  The chicken was delicious! I marinated for 24 hours, par boiled the potatoes and added a capsicum. Next time I would do less red onion and no stock as there was too much liquid imo
• KimK on 2025-08-24 (5 stars):
  Oh WOW. Amazing. I added corn, zucchini & sliced black olives. Only marinated for 2 hours, still had amazing flavours.

  This was great very simple I didnt have the time to marinate the night before only 5 hrs,which I think was fine for flavour but next time I will marinate the day before and see the difference. The flavour was great family loved it even the little one which is always a bonus.

  AMAZING flavour! I have made this a few times now and it has turned out so well every time. The second time and since, I pre-boiled my potatoes a little bit (maybe 10 mins) because we like a fluffier/softer potato and my old gas oven is... well, it struggles. I use the vegetables recommended, but I think it could work with almost anything. This would be a great choice for having guests over too. This feels like a fancy meal, but is very simple to make without too much prep or standing at a stove. We usually have it with a Greek salad and a side veggie like asparagus, which is quite filling, but it also pairs well with rice. You really can't go wrong.

  This is sooooo good, my family loves it, I surprise myself how yummy it turns out every time
• Jacquie on 2025-07-25 (4 stars):
  YuM! Saved to favorites for sure. Only reason I didn't 5 star was because id rather have the juice thickened as a 'gravy'. Any suggestions on the best way? I wondered about tossing the potatoes in seasoned flour before putting down in the pan.
