Ingredients

Scale
  • 4–6 medium bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1.5 – 2 pounds Yukon Gold, red potatoes, or baby potatoes
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
  • 6–8 cloves fresh garlic, finely minced
  • Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh rosemary, roughly chopped
  • Fresh thyme, roughly chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Optional: splash of chicken broth or vegetable broth

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large, sturdy baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easier cleanup.
  2. Wash and scrub your potatoes thoroughly. Cut them into roughly 1-inch pieces. In a large bowl, toss the cut potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper, and about half of your chopped fresh rosemary and thyme. Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on one side of your prepared baking sheet.
  3. Pat the chicken thighs thoroughly dry with paper towels. Season both sides of the chicken generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  4. In a small microwave-safe bowl or saucepan, melt the unsalted butter. Add your minced fresh garlic and the remaining chopped fresh rosemary and thyme. Stir to combine.
  5. Place the seasoned chicken thighs, skin-side up, on the other side of the baking sheet. Evenly brush about half of your garlic butter mixture over the chicken thighs.
  6. Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven. Roast for 20 minutes.
  7. After 20 minutes, carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven. Flip the potatoes to ensure even browning. Baste the chicken thighs with any pan juices that have collected, then brush the remaining garlic butter mixture over the chicken. Sprinkle about half of the freshly grated Parmesan cheese over both the chicken and the potatoes.
  8. Return the baking sheet to the oven and continue roasting for another 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is deeply golden and crispy. The potatoes should be tender and lightly browned.
  9. Once done, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Let the chicken rest on the pan for 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley if desired.

Nutrition

Keywords: Patting the chicken thighs dry is crucial for crispy skin. Use uniform potato sizes for even cooking, and consider adding a splash of lemon juice before serving for extra flavor.
