Lemon wedges to serve



  1. Preheat the oven to 200 C (400F)

  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the vegetable stock, half of the chopped coriander, garlic, lemon zest, ras el hanout and salt. Set aside until ready to use

  3. Drizzle the olive oil all over a large roasting tin and add in the onions. Top the onions with the chicken (skin-side up) and the baby potatoes and pour the marinade all over.

  4. Turn the chicken thighs several times to make sure they are fully covered with the marinade and place in the warm oven
