Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Pat 1 lb chicken thighs dry, then season with 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp dried rosemary, and 1 tsp dried thyme.
  2. Step 2: Dice 1.5 lbs potatoes into 1-inch cubes, toss with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  3. Step 3: Trim woody ends from 1 bunch asparagus, then toss with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper on the same sheet.
  4. Step 4: Arrange seasoned chicken thighs on top of potatoes and asparagus, pressing gently to ensure contact.
  5. Step 5: Squeeze 1/2 lemon over the chicken and vegetables, then squeeze the remaining lemon halves over the sheet pan.
  6. Step 6: Roast for 25-30 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) internally and potatoes are golden and crispy, basting once halfway with pan juices.
  7. Step 7: Rest for 5 minutes before serving, squeezing extra lemon juice over the top.
