Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Potatoes

  • 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1.5 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, diced into even chunks

Seasonings and Herbs

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced or crushed
  • 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prep the chicken and potatoes: Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to ensure crispy skin. Dice the Yukon Gold potatoes into evenly sized pieces for uniform roasting. Place chicken and potatoes in a large bowl ready for seasoning.
  2. Season generously: Drizzle olive oil over the chicken and potatoes. Add minced garlic, fresh rosemary and thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together thoroughly to ensure each piece is evenly coated for flavor and browning.
  3. Arrange on a baking sheet: Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Place the chicken thighs skin-side up on the tray. Scatter the potatoes around the chicken, leaving some space between pieces to help them crisp evenly.
  4. Roast in the oven: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Bake the chicken and potatoes for 35-40 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the potatoes are tender and golden brown.
  5. Rest and serve: Remove the tray from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute and the flavors to settle before serving.

Notes

  • Patting the chicken skin dry before seasoning ensures crispy, golden skin.
  • Cut potatoes into uniform pieces for even cooking and texture.
  • Roast at high heat (425°F) for optimal crispiness of skin and potatoes.
  • Use fresh rosemary and thyme for brighter, more aromatic flavors than dried herbs.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan to allow air circulation and even roasting.
  • Let the chicken rest after roasting to lock in moisture and enhance flavor.
