Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 bone-in skin-on chicken thighs
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • Zest and juice of 2 medium lemons
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh thyme finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 pound baby potatoes halved

Method
 

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Make the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, rosemary, thyme, parsley, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Marinate the Chicken: Coat the chicken thighs evenly with half the marinade and let them sit for at least 15 minutes.
  4. Season the Potatoes: Toss the halved baby potatoes with the remaining marinade.
  5. Assemble on a Sheet Pan: Arrange the chicken and potatoes in a single layer on a large baking sheet.
  6. Roast: Bake for 35-40 minutes, stirring the potatoes halfway through, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the potatoes are golden and crispy.
  7. Serve: Let rest for a few minutes, garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and enjoy!

Notes

  • Make it Crispier: Broil the dish for the last 2-3 minutes for extra golden skin.
  • Protein Swap: Use chicken breasts, drumsticks, or even salmon for variation.
  • Vegetable Additions: Brussels sprouts, carrots, or green beans can be roasted alongside the potatoes.
  • Storage: Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven for best texture.
