Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1.5 lbs baby potatoes, halved or quartered
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Lemon wedges, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken and potatoes: Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to ensure crispy skin. Cut the baby potatoes into halves or quarters for even roasting and quicker cooking.
  2. Season everything generously: In a large bowl, toss the chicken and potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme leaves, paprika, salt, and pepper until all pieces are well coated.
  3. Arrange on the sheet pan: Place the seasoned chicken thighs skin-side up on a baking sheet, spaced apart to allow proper airflow. Surround the chicken with the potatoes so they roast evenly and absorb savory juices.
  4. Roast in the oven: Bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 35-45 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the potatoes are tender and golden brown.
  5. Finish and serve: Let the dish rest for a few minutes after roasting. Serve with optional lemon wedges squeezed over the top to brighten the flavors before plating and enjoying.

Notes

  • Pat chicken dry before seasoning to achieve crispy skin.
  • Cut potatoes into uniform sizes for even cooking.
  • Do not overcrowd the sheet pan to ensure proper roasting and browning.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check chicken doneness for juicy results.
  • Allow the chicken to rest post-roast to let juices redistribute for moist bites.
