Juicy roasted chicken and crisp potatoes seasoned with rosemary, thyme and garlic for an easy weeknight meal.
# What You'll Need:
→ Meats
01 - 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
→ Vegetables
02 - 1.5 pounds baby potatoes, halved
03 - 1 red onion, cut into wedges
04 - 2 carrots, sliced into thick coins
05 - 4 cloves garlic, smashed
→ Spices & Seasonings
06 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
07 - 1 teaspoon salt
08 - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
09 - 1 teaspoon dried rosemary or 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
10 - 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
11 - 1/2 teaspoon paprika
→ Optional Garnish
12 - Fresh parsley, chopped (for serving)
# Directions:
01 - Preheat oven to 425°F.
02 - Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease.
03 - Combine potatoes, red onion, carrots, and garlic in a large mixing bowl. Add half of the olive oil, half the salt, pepper, rosemary, thyme, and paprika. Toss until all vegetables are evenly coated.
04 - Spread seasoned vegetables evenly over the prepared baking sheet.
05 - Rub chicken thighs with remaining olive oil, salt, pepper, rosemary, thyme, and paprika. Arrange chicken thighs, skin-side up, on top of the vegetables.
06 - Roast uncovered for 40 minutes, or until chicken skin is golden brown and potatoes are tender. Broil for 2–3 minutes if a crispier skin is desired.
07 - Remove from oven. Allow to rest 3–5 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving as desired.
# Helpful Tips:
01 -
- Cleanup is a dream since everything roasts together on a single pan.
- The chicken comes out juicy and the potatoes have that irresistible crisp edge we all chase.
02 -
- If the potatoes are cut too big, they stay annoyingly firm while the chicken finishes—always check for similar size pieces.
- Broiling for those last few minutes transforms the chicken skin from good to truly irresistible.
03 -
- Make sure your oven is fully preheated—starting with a hot oven is key for that crispy skin and perfectly roasted potatoes.
- Rubbing the spices under the skin and on top means every bite of chicken delivers maximum flavor.
