Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken thighs, bone-in and skin-on
• 500 grams Baby potatoes, halved
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, garlic, rosemary, thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.

Step 3

Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and add them to the marinade. Toss to coat evenly. Let the chicken marinate while you prepare the potatoes.

Step 4

In another bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.

Step 5

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, sear the chicken thighs skin-side down for 3-4 minutes, until the skin is golden and crispy. Flip the chicken over and sear the other side for 2 minutes.

Step 6

Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside. In the same skillet, add the potatoes, arranging them cut-side down. Cook for 3-4 minutes until they begin to brown.

Step 7

Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, arranging them on top of the potatoes.

Step 8

Brush any remaining marinade over the chicken, then transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.

Step 9

Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the potatoes are tender.

Step 10

Remove the skillet from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
