Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels, then season evenly with 1 tsp kosher salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper on all sides.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, combine 2 tbsp olive oil, 4 minced garlic cloves, and 3 tbsp chopped rosemary, mixing until fragrant.
  3. Step 3: Place 1 lb quartered red potatoes, 8 oz cut carrots, and 1 sliced onion in a large roasting pan. Drizzle with 1/2 of the rosemary-garlic mixture and toss to coat evenly.
  4. Step 4: Arrange chicken thighs skin-side up on top of vegetables, then brush remaining rosemary-garlic mixture over chicken skin.
  5. Step 5: Roast for 45-50 minutes, basting occasionally with pan juices, until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) internally and skin is golden and crispy.
