Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. In a large bowl, combine 3 tbsp olive oil, 4 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp chopped rosemary, 1 tbsp chopped thyme, 1 tsp lemon zest, 1 tsp orange zest, 3 tbsp lemon juice, 2 tbsp orange juice, 1 1/2 tsp salt, and 1 tsp black pepper to create a marinade.
2. Step 2: Add 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs to the marinade and toss well to coat. Let marinate for 15 minutes at room temperature.
3. Step 3: In a large oven-proof skillet, arrange 12 oz baby carrots and 1 lb halved small red potatoes. Pour 1/2 cup chicken broth over the vegetables and place the marinated chicken thighs on top, skin side up.
4. Step 4: Roast in the oven for 35-40 minutes until the chicken skin is golden and crispy, vegetables are tender, and internal chicken temperature reaches 165°F.
5. Step 5: Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving, spooning pan juices over the chicken and vegetables for extra flavor.
