Rosemary Chicken with Potatoes
Ingredients
- 4 bone-in skin-on chicken thighs
- 1 lb baby potatoes halved
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 3 tbsp fresh rosemary chopped
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- Fresh rosemary sprigs for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Marinate the Chicken and Potatoes: In a large bowl, combine the minced garlic, chopped rosemary, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Add the chicken thighs and baby potatoes to the bowl, and toss everything together until well coated. Let it marinate for 10-15 minutes for maximum flavor.
- Arrange on a Baking Sheet: Spread the chicken thighs and potatoes in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Make sure the chicken is skin-side up for extra crispiness.
- Roast the Chicken and Potatoes: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 40-45 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and the potatoes are crispy and tender. Halfway through cooking, toss the potatoes to ensure even browning.
- Serve and Garnish: Remove the chicken and potatoes from the oven. Garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs and a squeeze of lemon juice if desired. Serve hot.
Notes
- For even crispier skin, you can broil the chicken for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking.
- If you prefer boneless chicken, you can substitute chicken thighs with boneless, skinless thighs or breasts, but adjust the cooking time accordingly.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven to maintain the crispiness of the potatoes.
