Heat the oven to 200°C. Toss the potato wedges with half the oil, half the oregano, salt and pepper directly on a large sheet pan.
Roast the potatoes alone for 15 minutes to give them a head start on the chicken.
Meanwhile pat the chicken thighs dry and rub with the remaining oil, oregano, garlic, salt and pepper.
Push the potatoes to the edges, nestle the chicken skin-side up among them, pour the lemon juice and stock into the pan, and scatter the lemon slices over everything.
Roast until the chicken skin is deeply golden and the thickest thigh reads 74°C, about 30 minutes.
💡 Basting the potatoes with the pan juices halfway through keeps them from drying out at the edges.
Rest 5 minutes, then spoon the pan juices over everything before serving.
Lemon and oregano chicken roasted alongside potatoes has been Sunday food in Greek homes for generations, traditionally carried to the neighborhood bakery's oven in a shared pan when the family stove ran too small. This one-tray version keeps the same lemony drippings the potatoes are famous for soaking up, sized for a regular oven and a regular Tuesday.
