Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 425°F. In a large bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons olive oil, 3 tablespoons lemon juice, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1.5 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon black pepper until well combined.
  2. Step 2: Add 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, 1.5 pounds halved baby potatoes, and 4 peeled and cut carrots to the bowl. Toss everything thoroughly to coat evenly with the marinade.
  3. Step 3: Arrange the chicken thighs skin-side up on a large rimmed baking sheet with the potatoes and carrots spread around them. Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, until the chicken skin is golden and crisp and vegetables are tender when pierced with a fork.
  4. Step 4: Remove from the oven and sprinkle 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley over the dish before serving to add a fresh, vibrant finish.
