Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
• 1.5 lbs Baby potatoes (or small Yukon Gold potatoes)
• 3 tbsp Olive oil
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tsp Fresh rosemary, chopped
• 2 tsp Fresh thyme, chopped
• 1 tsp Paprika
• 1.5 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Black pepper
• 1 piece Lemon, sliced
• 2 tbsp Parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.

Step 2

Rinse the baby potatoes and cut them in half. If using larger potatoes, chop them into evenly sized chunks. Place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon of chopped rosemary, 1 teaspoon of chopped thyme, 0.5 teaspoon of paprika, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper to the potatoes. Toss well to evenly coat.

Step 4

Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season both sides with the remaining salt, paprika, and black pepper.

Step 5

In a large skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken thighs skin-side down for about 3-4 minutes, until golden brown. Flip and sear the other side for 2 minutes.

Step 6

Remove the skillet from heat. Arrange the seared chicken thighs on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side up.

Step 7

Scatter the seasoned potatoes around the chicken thighs, ensuring they are in a single layer for even cooking.

Step 8

Add the remaining minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, and lemon slices on top of the chicken and potatoes for extra flavor.

Step 9

Roast in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the potatoes are golden and tender.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
