Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Potatoes
- 4 medium-sized potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Garnish
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the chicken and potatoes.
- Prepare the chicken: Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, mix rosemary, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Rub this seasoning mixture all over the chicken thighs, making sure to get under the skin for extra flavor.
- Season the potatoes: Place the peeled and cubed potatoes in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, add salt and pepper to taste, and toss to coat evenly.
- Arrange in baking dish: Spread the potatoes evenly in a single layer in a roasting pan or baking dish. Place the seasoned chicken thighs skin-side up on top of the potatoes.
- Roast: Place the dish in the preheated oven and roast for 40-45 minutes, or until the chicken skin is crispy and golden, and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).
- Garnish and serve: Remove the dish from the oven, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the chicken and potatoes, and serve warm.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, you can broil the dish for the last 2-3 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
- You can substitute dried rosemary with fresh rosemary if available, but reduce quantity to 1/2 teaspoon because fresh herbs are more potent.
- If you prefer, use sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes for a different flavor profile.
- Make sure the chicken thighs are bone-in and skin-on for best texture and flavor; boneless or skinless thighs will cook faster but won’t have the same crispiness.
- Allow the chicken to rest 5 minutes after cooking to redistribute juices for moist meat.
