Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Pat dry 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs and season them evenly with 1 tsp sea salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper on both sides.
  2. Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, toss 12 oz baby carrots with 3 tbsp olive oil and 6 smashed garlic cloves until well coated.
  3. Step 3: Arrange the chicken thighs skin-side up on a rimmed baking sheet. Nestle the oiled baby carrots and garlic around the chicken. Tuck 3 fresh rosemary sprigs among the chicken and carrots.
  4. Step 4: Roast in the oven for 35-40 minutes until the chicken skin is golden and crispy and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). The carrots should be tender and slightly caramelized.
  5. Step 5: Remove from oven, let rest 5 minutes, then serve the juicy chicken thighs with the roasted garlic and carrots alongside.
