Ingredients
Chicken
- 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Potatoes
- 1.5 pounds baby potatoes, halved
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
Garnish
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s hot enough to roast the chicken and potatoes until golden and crispy.
- Prepare Chicken: In a small bowl, combine minced garlic, salt, pepper, dried thyme, paprika, and olive oil. Rub this garlic seasoning mixture evenly all over the chicken thighs, making sure to get some under the skin for maximum flavor.
- Prepare Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, and dried rosemary until well coated.
- Arrange in Pan: Place the seasoned potatoes in an even layer on a large baking sheet or roasting pan. Arrange the chicken thighs skin side up on top of the potatoes, allowing the juices from the chicken to flavor the potatoes as they cook.
- Roast: Roast in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the chicken skin is golden brown and crispy, the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Optional Broil: For extra crispy skin, switch the oven to broil for 2-3 minutes at the end of cooking. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
- Serve: Remove from oven, garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired, and serve hot. Enjoy your flavorful one-pan garlic chicken with crispy roasted potatoes!
Notes
- You can substitute baby potatoes with fingerling or diced Yukon gold potatoes.
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the chicken seasoning.
- Make sure not to overcrowd the pan to ensure even roasting and crispiness.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat gently in the oven or skillet to preserve crispiness.
