Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Place 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, 1.5 lbs halved baby potatoes, and 1 bunch trimmed asparagus on a large sheet pan. Drizzle with 3 tbsp olive oil, then sprinkle with 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp dried thyme, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1/2 tsp paprika. Toss until evenly coated.
  2. Step 2: Arrange chicken skin-side up and vegetables in a single layer. Roast for 30-35 minutes until chicken is golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F, and potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
  3. Step 3: Let rest 5 minutes before serving; potatoes should be crisp on edges and vegetables tender.
