Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 500 grams baby potatoes, halved
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 piece lemon, cut into wedges
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, half of the minced garlic, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper. Arrange them in a single layer on one side of the prepared baking sheet.
Step 3
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season each piece with 1 teaspoon of salt, 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper, and the paprika.
Step 4
In the same mixing bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of olive oil, remaining minced garlic, and chopped rosemary. Rub this mixture evenly over the chicken thighs.
Step 5
Place the chicken thighs skin-side up on the other side of the baking sheet, ensuring they do not touch the potatoes.
Step 6
Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and the potatoes are golden and tender.
Step 7
Optional: For extra crispy chicken skin, broil the pan on high for 2-3 minutes at the end of the cooking time, keeping a close eye to avoid burning.
Step 8
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 9
Serve the roasted chicken with the potatoes and lemon wedges on the side. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top for a bright finish.
