  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, mix 2 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp chopped rosemary, 1 tbsp chopped thyme, and 3 minced garlic cloves until fragrant.
  3. Step 3: Rub herb mixture evenly over chicken thighs, pressing gently to adhere. Arrange thighs in a single layer in a roasting pan.
  4. Step 4: Add halved potatoes and sliced carrots around chicken, drizzle with remaining herb oil, and toss to coat. Season with remaining salt and pepper.
  5. Step 5: Roast for 35-40 minutes, turning vegetables halfway, until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) internally and vegetables are tender with golden edges.
