Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. In a large bowl, combine 4 tbsp olive oil, zest and juice of 1 large lemon, 5 minced garlic cloves, 2 tsp chopped fresh rosemary, 1 tsp chopped fresh thyme, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
Step 2: Add 6 bone-in chicken thighs and 1.5 lbs halved baby potatoes to the bowl and toss thoroughly to coat all pieces with the marinade.
Step 3: Arrange the chicken thighs skin side up and potatoes evenly spaced on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 4: Roast for 35-40 minutes until the chicken skin is golden and crisp, the internal temperature reaches 165°F, and potatoes are tender and caramelized.
Step 5: Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.
