Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. In a large bowl, toss 1.5 lbs halved baby potatoes with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, 3 minced garlic cloves, 3/4 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper until evenly coated. Spread potatoes on a large rimmed sheet pan in a single layer.
  2. Step 2: In the same bowl, drizzle 2 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 2 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, 3 minced garlic cloves, 3/4 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper over 6 bone-in chicken thighs. Rub all sides thoroughly to coat.
  3. Step 3: Nestle the seasoned chicken thighs among the potatoes on the sheet pan. Roast in the oven for 35-40 minutes, turning potatoes halfway through, until chicken skin is crispy and juices run clear, and potatoes are tender and golden.
