Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 425°F. Halve 1.5 pounds of fingerling potatoes lengthwise and toss in a large mixing bowl with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon chopped rosemary, and 1 teaspoon thyme until evenly coated.
  2. Step 2: Arrange the potatoes cut-side down on a rimmed sheet pan. In the same bowl, combine 3 tablespoons olive oil, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, 1 tablespoon orange zest, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon rosemary, and 1 teaspoon thyme. Toss 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs in this mixture until well coated.
  3. Step 3: Place the chicken thighs skin-side up on the sheet pan nestled among the potatoes. Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes until the chicken skin is golden and crisp and the internal temperature reaches 165°F, and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
  4. Step 4: Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving, allowing the citrus-herb flavors to settle and the juices to redistribute.
