Prep Time: 20 mins

Total Time: 1 hr 15 mins

Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients:

  • 225g baby potatoes, halved
  • 1 lemon, ends trimmed, thinly sliced, seeds removed
  • 45ml extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • 1-2 teaspoons cannabis oil (adjust based on desired potency)
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 500g bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 8 pieces)
  • 5ml sweet paprika
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 30g chopped fresh parsley leaves
  • 120ml pitted Kalamata, Castelvetrano, or mixed olives, halved
  • 70g toasted sliced almonds
  • 60ml white wine vinegar
  • 110g feta, crumbled

Directions:

1. Preheat Oven.

  • Preheat your oven to 220°C.

2. Prepare Potatoes:

  • In a 33 cm x 23 cm baking dish, toss the halved baby potatoes, lemon slices, 30ml olive oil, 1.5ml salt, and a few grinds of black pepper.

3. Roast Potatoes:

  • Roast in the oven for 14 to 16 minutes, until the potatoes just start to turn golden.

4. Prepare Chicken:

  • Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels, then season all over with 7.5ml salt and 1.25ml pepper.

5. Season Chicken:

  • Sprinkle the chicken with sweet paprika, drizzle with the remaining 15ml olive oil, and add the cannabis oil.

6. Roast Chicken and Potatoes:

  • Return the baking dish to the oven and roast until the chicken skin is golden brown and an instant-read thermometer registers 74°C at the thickest part (without touching the bone), about 35 minutes. The potatoes should be crisp and golden.

7. Prepare the Sauce:

  • Using tongs or a slotted spoon, transfer the chicken and potatoes to a serving platter.
  • Carefully stir the chopped garlic into the hot pan drippings (there should be about 120ml drippings in the pan).
  • Add parsley, olives, almonds, vinegar, and 5ml salt to the drippings and stir to combine.

8. Serve:

  • Spoon the sauce over the chicken and potatoes on the platter. Crumble the feta over the top.
