A simple, fuss-free one-pan dinner featuring crispy bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs roasted with garlic, fresh herbs, and tender baby potatoes. Perfect for cozy weeknight meals with minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1.5 pounds baby potatoes, washed and halved
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced or thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, roughly chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, roughly chopped
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: lemon zest for brightness

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Wash and halve about 1.5 pounds of baby potatoes. Pat them dry.
  3. Pat dry 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs with paper towels.
  4. Rub each chicken thigh generously with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  5. In a small bowl, combine minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, and 2 tablespoons olive oil.
  6. Toss the potatoes in the garlic-herb mixture until evenly coated.
  7. Place the chicken thighs skin-side up in an oven-safe skillet or roasting pan.
  8. Nestle the coated potatoes around the chicken, ensuring space between pieces for even cooking.
  9. Roast in the oven for 35-40 minutes. At 20 minutes, turn the potatoes to promote even browning.
  10. Check that the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  11. Optional: Broil the chicken for 2-3 minutes at the end for extra crispiness, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  12. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Pat chicken skin dry before seasoning to ensure crispiness. Avoid overcrowding the pan to allow even roasting. Turn potatoes halfway through cooking for even browning. Optional broil at the end enhances crispiness but watch carefully to prevent burning. Let chicken rest before serving to keep it juicy. For dairy-free, use olive oil only. For gluten-free, no flour or gluten ingredients are used. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days; reheat in oven to maintain crispness.
