Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 6 bone-in skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1½ pounds baby potatoes halved if large
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 lemon sliced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Fresh parsley chopped (optional, for garnish)

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. In a large bowl, combine olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, paprika, salt, pepper, and lemon juice.
  3. Add the chicken and toss until evenly coated.
  4. Add the baby potatoes and toss them in the remaining seasoning mixture.
  5. Arrange the chicken skin-side up on the baking sheet and spread the potatoes around it in a single layer.
  6. Place the lemon slices over and around the chicken.
  7. Roast for 40–45 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the potatoes are tender.
  8. For extra crispy skin, broil for 2–3 minutes at the end, watching carefully.
  9. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
  10. Garnish with fresh parsley and additional rosemary if desired, then serve immediately.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Reheat in the oven or air fryer to help maintain crispy chicken skin.
  • Add vegetables like carrots, Brussels sprouts, or green beans during the last 20–25 minutes of roasting.
  • Boneless chicken thighs can be substituted but may require less cooking time.
  • Fresh rosemary provides the best flavor, but dried rosemary can be used if needed (use about one-third the amount).
