Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Place 1.5 lbs halved fingerling potatoes and 1 cup cherry tomatoes on a large sheet pan. Drizzle with 1.5 tbsp olive oil, then sprinkle with 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp dried oregano. Toss to coat evenly and spread in a single layer.
  2. Step 2: Roast for 15 minutes, stirring once halfway, until potatoes begin to brown at the edges.
  3. Step 3: Remove sheet pan from oven. Arrange 1.5 lbs bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs skin-side down on top of vegetables. Drizzle with remaining 1.5 tbsp olive oil and sprinkle with 2 tbsp minced garlic, 2 tbsp chopped rosemary, 2 tbsp chopped thyme, and 1/2 tsp salt.
  4. Step 4: Return to oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) internally and skin is golden brown.
  5. Step 5: Let rest for 5 minutes before serving, garnished with extra fresh herbs.
