Ingredients
- 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 4 medium potatoes, cut into wedges
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme (or ½ teaspoon dried thyme)
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
-
Prepare Ingredients: In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with 1.5 tablespoons of olive oil, half the seasonings (garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper), and minced garlic.
-
Season Chicken: Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel. Rub them with the remaining olive oil, then season with the rest of the spices. Drizzle with lemon juice.
-
Arrange on Pan: Place the potatoes in the baking dish first, then nestle the chicken thighs on top. Sprinkle fresh thyme over everything.
-
Bake: Roast in the oven for 35–40 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the potatoes are crispy. For extra crispiness, broil for 2–3 minutes at the end.
-
Serve: Let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm!
Notes
- For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the seasoning mix for 30 minutes before cooking.
- Swap white potatoes for sweet potatoes for a sweeter twist.
- Add vegetables like carrots or bell peppers for more variety.
