Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. In a large bowl, combine 6 bone-in chicken thighs, 3 peeled and cut carrots, 12 halved baby potatoes, and 1 medium red onion cut into wedges. Add 6 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, 4 tbsp olive oil, 1 1/2 tsp salt, and 1 tsp black pepper. Toss everything until the chicken and vegetables are evenly coated.
  2. Step 2: Spread the chicken and vegetables in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, turning the vegetables halfway through, until chicken skin is golden and internal temperature reaches 165°F and vegetables are tender.
  3. Step 3: Remove from oven and drizzle 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice over the chicken and vegetables. Let rest 5 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld and juices to redistribute.
