Ingredients
Chicken
- 4 bone-in chicken thighs or breasts
Potatoes and Vegetables
- 1 lb baby potatoes, halved
- Optional: lemon slices for roasting
Seasonings and Oils
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp thyme
- 1 tsp rosemary
- Salt & pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the ideal temperature for roasting.
- Prepare potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper until everything is evenly coated with the flavorful mixture.
- Season chicken: Season the bone-in chicken thighs or breasts with salt and pepper to taste, ensuring the meat is well flavored.
- Combine and arrange: Place the seasoned chicken pieces on top of the coated potatoes in a single layer on a roasting pan or baking dish. Optionally, add lemon slices around for a subtle citrus aroma.
- Roast: Roast the chicken and potatoes in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the potatoes are tender and golden brown.
- Serve: Remove from oven and serve hot, spooning the pan juices over the chicken and potatoes for extra flavor and moisture.
Notes
- Consider adding carrots or onions to the roasting pan for additional sweetness and variety.
- Fresh herbs can be used instead of dried for a stronger, more vibrant flavor.
