Ingredients

• 6 pieces Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
• 2 whole Lemon
• 3 sprigs Fresh rosemary
• 4 cloves Garlic
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1.5 pounds Baby potatoes
• 4 large Carrots
• 2 medium Zucchini
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Paprika

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Zest and juice one lemon, and slice the other lemon into thin rounds. Set them aside.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the lemon zest, lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, chopped rosemary leaves from 2 sprigs, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and paprika to form a marinade.

Step 4

Place the chicken thighs in a large bowl and pour the marinade over them. Massage the marinade into the chicken, ensuring even coating. Cover and let the chicken marinate for 10–15 minutes.

Step 5

While the chicken is marinating, wash and cut the baby potatoes in half. Peel the carrots and slice them into thick sticks. Slice the zucchini into half-moons.

Step 6

Arrange the vegetables on a large baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss to coat.

Step 7

Nestle the marinated chicken thighs on top of the vegetables. Add the lemon slices and the remaining rosemary sprig around the pan for added aroma.

Step 8

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 40–45 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the vegetables are tender and caramelized.

Step 9

Switch the oven to broil for the last 3–5 minutes to crisp the chicken skin and give it a golden color. Keep an eye on it to avoid burning.

Step 10

Remove the pan from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve the chicken and veggies hot, garnished with additional fresh rosemary if desired.
