Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 pounds bone-in (skin-on) chicken thighs
- 1 pound baby potatoes
Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 4 cloves garlic
- Salt and pepper
Cooking Ingredients:
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- Fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to a sizzling 425°F, preparing for a flavor-packed roasting session.
- Whisk 4 tablespoons olive oil with minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, paprika, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl to craft a vibrant marinade.
- Submerge 2 pounds of bone-in chicken thighs into the marinade, ensuring each piece gets thoroughly coated. Allow the meat to soak up flavors for 15 minutes.
- Grab halved baby potatoes and toss them with a splash of olive oil, seasoning with salt and pepper until evenly distributed.
- Spread the marinated chicken thighs skin-side up on a spacious baking sheet, creating room for the potatoes to nestle around them.
- Slide the baking sheet into the hot oven and roast for 35-40 minutes, watching for golden-crisp chicken skin and tender potato interiors.
- For an extra crispy finish, switch your oven to broil and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, monitoring closely to prevent burning.
- Remove the sheet from the oven and let your masterpiece rest for 5 minutes, allowing juices to redistribute.
- Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the dish for a bright, herbal garnish before serving.
Notes
- Marinate the chicken thighs for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors deeply penetrate the meat and enhance its taste.
- Use skin-on chicken thighs for maximum crispiness and flavor, as the fat renders and creates a deliciously golden exterior.
- Arrange potatoes in a single layer around the chicken to ensure they roast evenly and develop a nice crisp exterior.
- For a low-carb version, swap potatoes with cauliflower florets or Brussels sprouts, which roast beautifully and absorb the same delicious seasonings.
