🧂 Ingredients
- 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 1½ lbs baby potatoes, halved (or russet potatoes cut into chunks)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme (or rosemary)
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Optional: fresh parsley or lemon wedges for garnish
👩🍳 Instructions
- Preheat the oven:
Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking dish or sheet pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup. - Season the chicken:
Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels. In a bowl, drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with paprika, thyme, garlic, salt, and pepper. Rub seasoning all over the chicken to coat evenly. - Prepare the potatoes:
Toss potatoes in a separate bowl with olive oil, salt, pepper, and a pinch of paprika or herbs. - Assemble the dish:
Arrange chicken thighs skin-side up on the pan, with potatoes scattered around them in a single layer. - Bake to perfection:
Roast for 40–45 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the skin is golden and crisp. Stir the potatoes halfway through baking to ensure even roasting. - Finish and serve:
Sprinkle with fresh parsley or a squeeze of lemon juice before serving for a bright, fresh touch.
🍽️ Serving Suggestions
- Serve with a side of roasted vegetables or a simple garden salad.
- Add a drizzle of garlic butter or homemade gravy for extra richness.
- Pair with a glass of chilled white wine or sparkling lemonade for a refreshing balance.
💡 Tips for Success
- Use bone-in thighs: They stay juicier than boneless cuts during baking.
- Get that golden crisp: Broil for the last 2–3 minutes for extra crunch.
- Add veggies: Toss in carrots, bell peppers, or onions for a heartier one-pan meal.
- Meal prep friendly: Leftovers reheat beautifully and taste even better the next day!
