# Ingredients:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
02 - 2 lbs baby potatoes, halved
03 - 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

→ Seasonings & Spices

04 - 6 cloves fresh garlic, minced
05 - 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
06 - 1 teaspoon salt
07 - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

→ Base Ingredients

08 - 1/4 cup olive oil
09 - 2 tablespoons butter, melted

→ Optional Extras

10 - Fresh parsley for garnish
11 - Lemon zest
12 - Red pepper flakes

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Pat chicken thighs dry and cut larger potatoes in half for even cooking.
02 - Mix minced garlic, olive oil, parmesan, thyme, salt and pepper in a small bowl.
03 - Rub garlic parmesan mixture all over chicken thighs, getting under skin when possible.
04 - Toss baby potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper and any remaining garlic mixture.
05 - Place chicken skin-side up on sheet pan, scatter potatoes around in single layer.
06 - Roast 35-45 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F and potatoes are golden and tender.

# Notes:

01 - Pat chicken completely dry before seasoning for crispy skin - learned this after too many soggy disasters.
02 - Leftovers keep 4 days in fridge - reheat chicken in oven and potatoes in skillet for best texture.
03 - Try adding lemon zest to the garlic mixture for a bright twist that makes everything pop.
04 - Don't overcrowd the pan or everything steams instead of roasting - use two pans if needed.
