Description
A quick and flavorful one-pan dinner featuring juicy chicken thighs and crispy golden potatoes roasted together. Perfect for busy nights with minimal prep and easy cleanup.
Ingredients
2 lbs chicken thighs or drumsticks (6–8 pieces, bone-in, skin-on)
2 lbs (900 g) baby potatoes, halved or quartered
4 tbsp olive oil
4 large garlic cloves, minced
2 tsp paprika
2 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried thyme
1 ½ tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
2 tbsp lemon juice, freshly squeezed
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Optional additions:
1 red onion, cut into wedges
1 bell pepper, sliced
Pinch of red pepper flakes
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the oven and sheet pan
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly coat with non-stick spray.
Step 2: Season the potatoes
Toss potatoes with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, ½ tsp pepper, 1 tsp paprika, and ½ tsp oregano. Spread evenly on the sheet pan.
Step 3: Season the chicken
Rub chicken with remaining olive oil, garlic, 1 tsp paprika, 1 ½ tsp oregano, 1 tsp thyme, ½ tsp salt, ½ tsp pepper, and lemon juice.
Step 4: Arrange on the pan
Place chicken skin-side up among potatoes. Scatter optional vegetables if using.
Step 5: Roast
Bake 40–45 minutes, flipping potatoes halfway. Chicken is done at 165°F (74°C) internal temperature.
Step 6: Garnish and serve
Sprinkle parsley before serving. Rest 5 minutes to keep juices in.
Notes
Pat chicken dry for extra crispy skin.
Do not overcrowd the pan; use two trays if needed.
Use a meat thermometer to avoid undercooking.
