  • Method: Roasted, Sheet Pan
  • Cuisine: American-Inspired

Ingredients

  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (or drumsticks)
  • 1 lb baby potatoes or Yukon gold potatoes, halved
  • 3–4 carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 1 head garlic, cloves peeled and left whole
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1/2 tsp paprika (optional)
  • Lemon wedges (optional, for serving)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet or roasting pan with parchment or foil.
  2. Arrange chicken, potatoes, carrots, and garlic cloves in a single layer on the pan.
  3. Drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, thyme, rosemary, and paprika. Toss vegetables and rub seasoning onto the chicken.
  4. Roast for 40–45 minutes, flipping vegetables halfway through, until chicken is golden and reaches 165°F internally and vegetables are fork-tender.
  5. Optional: Broil for 2–3 minutes at the end to crisp the chicken skin.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with lemon wedges and fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

  • Use boneless thighs or breasts to cut cook time to 25–30 minutes.
  • Add bell peppers or red onions for more variety and color.
  • Drizzle with balsamic vinegar or honey before roasting for a sweet-savory twist.
  • Substitute sweet potatoes or parsnips for seasonal variation.
  • Use a wire rack over the baking sheet for extra crispy chicken skin.
