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.
