Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the oven to 425°F. Wash and halve 1.5 pounds baby Yukon gold potatoes into roughly 1-inch pieces.
- Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk together 4 tbsp olive oil, 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice, 5 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme, 1.5 tsp salt, 1 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp paprika until combined and fragrant.
- Step 3: Add the 6 bone-in chicken thighs and halved potatoes into the bowl and toss thoroughly to coat in the lemon-herb marinade.
- Step 4: Spread the chicken and potatoes evenly on a large rimmed baking sheet, skin side up for the chicken, making sure the potatoes are in a single layer.
- Step 5: Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, until the chicken skin is golden and crisp and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Step 6: Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving, allowing the juices to settle and flavors to deepen.
