Coat chicken and potatoes thoroughly in your spice mixture, and don’t skimp on the fresh lemon juice—it’s essential for that bright Greek taste.
For those who love a crisp potato edge, you can pop potatoes into the COSORI Air Fryer 9-in-1, Compact & Large 6-Qt, Grey just before serving to add a golden finish.
