# 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 -
1 teaspoon Lemon zest, for serving
12 -
1/2 teaspoon Red pepper flakes, for serving
# 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.
