Description

Juicy baked chicken thighs roasted with baby potatoes, carrots, garlic, and herbs for a cozy and comforting winter dinner that comes together easily in one pan.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1 1/2 pounds baby potatoes
  • 4 large carrots, sliced into chunks
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 5 whole garlic cloves
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F and lightly grease a large baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the baby potatoes, carrots, garlic cloves, olive oil, paprika, dried thyme, salt, black pepper, and rosemary. Toss until evenly coated.
  3. Spread the seasoned vegetables evenly into the baking dish and place small pieces of butter throughout.
  4. Arrange the chicken thighs skin-side up on top of the vegetables and season lightly with additional salt and pepper if desired.
  5. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes until the chicken skin is golden and crispy and the vegetables are tender.
  6. Allow the dish to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
  7. Serve warm directly from the baking dish.

Notes

  • Pat the chicken dry before seasoning for crispier skin.
  • Stir the vegetables halfway through cooking for even roasting.
  • Add fresh rosemary before serving for extra flavor.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
