Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut new potatoes into 1-inch chunks and toss with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper on a baking sheet.
- Step 2: Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels, then rub with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 6 minced garlic cloves, 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
- Step 3: Arrange the seasoned chicken thighs skin-side up on top of the potatoes. Roast uncovered for 40 minutes, then flip the chicken and continue roasting for 15-20 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the potatoes are golden and crispy.
- Step 4: Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes. Discard any excess fat from the pan, then serve the chicken and potatoes with pan juices.
