Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the oven to 425°F. In a large bowl, combine 1.5 pounds halved baby potatoes with 2 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper; toss well to coat.
- Step 2: Arrange the potatoes in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet and roast for 15 minutes.
- Step 3: Meanwhile, pat 6 bone-in chicken thighs dry and season with 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp paprika on both sides.
- Step 4: In a small bowl, mix 4 minced garlic cloves, 3 tbsp lemon juice, and 2 tbsp olive oil.
- Step 5: Remove the potatoes from the oven and nestle the chicken thighs among them, then drizzle the garlic-lemon mixture evenly over the chicken and potatoes.
- Step 6: Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for an additional 25-30 minutes, until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and potatoes are tender with golden edges.
- Step 7: Let rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.
