Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Dress the roasting pan lightly with oil, setting the stage for what's to come.
Tease the chicken and potatoes in a large bowl with lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, dried oregano, salt, rosemary, black pepper, and cayenne until they're evenly coated and glistening, ready to be devoured.
Lay the chicken pieces skin-side up, exposing themselves in the prepared pan. Tuck the potato pieces around them, drizzle with 2/3 cup of the chicken broth, and spoon any remaining marinade over them, making sure they're well doused and glistening.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then give the chicken and potatoes a good toss, turning up the heat in their relationship. Place the chicken skin-side up once more, letting the skin crisp up to golden perfection.
Continue the bake until the chicken whispers secrets of being browned and cooked through, about 25 minutes more. A thermometer plunged near the bone should whisper back with 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
Elevate the chicken to a serving platter, keeping it warm and inviting. Leave the potatoes behind, craving more heat.
With desires set high, broil the potatoes under the broiler until they reach a crispy climax, about 3 minutes.
Reunite the potatoes with the chicken on the platter, making it a scene to behold.
In the afterglow, simmer the remaining 1/3 cup chicken broth in the roasting pan over medium heat, scraping up the bits that reminisce the passions unfolded. Strain this essence over the chicken and potatoes, and garnish with fresh oregano.
