A quick and easy one-pan recipe featuring crispy lemon herb chicken thighs and golden roasted garlic potatoes, perfect for a cozy and flavorful dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1.5 pounds Yukon Gold or baby red potatoes
  • 4 whole garlic cloves, peeled
  • 1 lemon, zested and juiced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • Salt to taste (kosher recommended)
  • Black pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Optional: smoked paprika or chili flakes for heat

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Wash and halve the potatoes. Toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil, garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and a pinch of black pepper. Spread evenly in a large oven-safe skillet.
  3. Roast the potatoes in the oven for about 15 minutes.
  4. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Rub with 1 tablespoon olive oil, lemon zest, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  5. Remove the skillet from the oven and nestle the chicken thighs skin-side up between the potatoes. Drizzle with lemon juice.
  6. Return the skillet to the oven and roast for 20-25 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and skin is golden and crispy.
  7. Check potatoes for tenderness and crispness; broil 2-3 minutes if needed, watching closely.
  8. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle chopped parsley over the dish before serving.
  9. Serve warm with garlic-roasted potatoes and enjoy the roasted garlic cloves.

Notes

Pat chicken skin dry before seasoning to ensure crispiness. Do not overcrowd the pan to avoid steaming. Use a meat thermometer to check for 165°F internal temperature. Rest chicken for 5 minutes before serving. Roasting garlic with potatoes mellows its flavor. Optional to add smoked paprika or chili flakes for heat.
