Equipment

  • Baking sheet or large roasting pan
  • Mixing bowl
  • Tongs or spatula
  • Aluminum foil or parchment paper (optional, for easy cleanup)

Ingredients
  

  • 4 –6 chicken thighs bone-in, skin-on
  • 1.5 lbs baby potatoes halved
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional garnish: Chopped parsley

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the Oven:
  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet or roasting pan with foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  • Prepare the Potatoes:
  • In a large mixing bowl, toss the halved potatoes with 1 1/2 tablespoons of olive oil, half of the minced garlic, half of the Parmesan cheese, smoked paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat the potatoes evenly.
  • Prepare the Chicken:
  • Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to ensure crispy skin. Rub the chicken with the remaining olive oil, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper.
  • Assemble the Pan:
  • Arrange the seasoned potatoes on one side of the baking sheet. Place the chicken thighs on the other side, skin-side up.
  • Roast the Dish:
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 35–45 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the potatoes are golden and tender.
  • Broil for Crispiness:
  • For extra crispy skin and potatoes, switch to the broil setting for 2–3 minutes at the end of cooking.
  • Garnish and Serve:
  • Sprinkle chopped parsley over the chicken and potatoes before serving. Serve warm and enjoy this delicious one-pan dinner!
