METHOD
Preheat 180 degrees.
Combine oil, oregano, thyme, garlic, pepper, and salt in a small bowl. Transfer 1 tablespoon of the herb mixture to a medium bowl. Add potatoes and olives and stir to coat.
Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Rub with the remaining herb mixture.
Scatter the potatoes and olives in a baking pan.
Place the chicken on top of the potatoes and olives and tuck in lemon wedges.

Serve the chicken and vegetables topped with a big splash of extra virgin oil from @cobramestate and feta and more oregano and thyme, if desired.
