– 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
– 1 ½ pounds baby potatoes

– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1 teaspoon dried thyme
– 1 teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Creating Savory Chicken Thighs and Crispy Potatoes is straightforward if you follow these easy steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) to preheat.
2. Prepare Marinade: In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, thyme, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
3. Marinate Chicken: Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Rub the marinade generously over both sides of the chicken thighs.
4. Prepare Potatoes: Cut the baby potatoes in half and place them in a large bowl. Drizzle with a bit of olive oil and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Toss to coat.
5. Arrange on Baking Sheet: On a rimmed baking sheet, arrange the marinated chicken thighs skin-side up. Scatter the potatoes around the chicken, ensuring even spacing.
6. Roast in Oven: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the potatoes are golden brown and crispy.
7. Broil (Optional): For extra crispiness, you can broil the chicken for an additional 2-3 minutes at the end of cooking, just until the skin is crispy.
8. Rest: Once done, remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow to rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
9. Garnish: Optionally, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the chicken and potatoes for a pop of color and freshness before serving.
These simple steps will ensure the success of your Savory Chicken Thighs and Crispy Potatoes, impressing everyone at the table.
