Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels, then rub with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
  2. Step 2: Arrange chicken skin-side up on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast for 25 minutes until golden and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  3. Step 3: Toss potatoes with 2 tbsp olive oil, garlic powder, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Spread in a single layer on a separate baking sheet.
  4. Step 4: Add rosemary to potatoes and roast for 25 minutes until crispy and golden at the edges.
  5. Step 5: Whisk honey, lemon juice, and 1 tbsp water in a small bowl until smooth. Brush over chicken during the last 5 minutes of roasting.
  6. Step 6: Let chicken rest 5 minutes before serving with potatoes, drizzling any pan juices over both.
