Ingredients
- 6 pieces chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 1.5 pounds baby potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoons chili flakes
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a large baking dish or sheet pan.
Step 2
Rinse and dry the baby potatoes, then cut them into halves (or quarters if large).
Step 3
In a small mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, oregano, chili flakes, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Place the chicken thighs and baby potatoes in the prepared baking dish. Drizzle the olive oil mixture over them, ensuring even coating. Use your hands to massage the marinade into the chicken and toss the potatoes.
Step 5
Spread the chicken and potatoes in an even layer, ensuring the chicken thighs are skin-side up.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the chicken is golden and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C) and the potatoes are fork-tender.
Step 7
If desired, broil on high for an additional 3-5 minutes for extra crispy skin on the chicken.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
Step 9
Serve directly from the pan and enjoy your zesty one-pan chicken and potato bake!
