Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Pat 1.25 lbs chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Cut 1.5 lbs potatoes into 1-inch chunks.
  2. Step 2: Toss potatoes in a large bowl with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper until evenly coated. Spread potatoes on a parchment-lined sheet pan.
  3. Step 3: Add 4 minced garlic cloves and 3 tbsp finely chopped fresh rosemary to the potatoes, then arrange chicken thighs on top. Drizzle remaining 1 tbsp olive oil over chicken.
  4. Step 4: Roast for 35-40 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F internally and potatoes are golden and crispy around the edges, flipping potatoes halfway through cooking.
