GREEK-Style LEMON Chicken Thighs with Roast Potatoes

View ChannelAbout
This channel shows how food is made—from home-cooked meals to street food favourites—without the fuss. I want to share the heart of cooking, learned through years in kitchens and on the streets. I've cooked in European, Indian, and Chinese restaurants. My love for Asian food began there. I arrived in Thailand twenty years ago and fell in love with the people, culture, and food. With my wife, I started Curry-Nights, British Indian ready meals. I Cooked 400 meals daily, supplying supermarkets across Thailand and Laos. Cooking is a universal language. Sharing food builds lasting bonds. Here, you’ll find real cooking without ego or pretence. After years in restaurants—from washing pans to cooking alongside chefs—the world changed. I lost everything and found a new purpose: helping people rediscover joy in home cooking. Cooking shouldn’t be intimidating. My mission is to make it simple, fun, and rewarding.

Video Description
Rustic, bold, and full of citrusy, herby goodness — this dish roasts skin-on chicken thighs over a bed of parboiled potatoes, letting the fat baste them below while the skin crisps above. Baby carrots are roasted alongside, and a ric,h lemony sauce is made from the marinade. 👇 RECIPE BELOW ❤️Hello, viewers! Don't forget to hit the subscribe button and share the video if you like it!
