Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs dry with paper towels, then rub evenly with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme, and 2 minced garlic cloves.
  2. Step 2: Season chicken with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Place skin-side up on a parchment-lined baking sheet, arranging any excess herbs around the chicken.
  3. Step 3: Roast for 35-40 minutes, basting occasionally with pan juices, until skin is golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), with potatoes golden and crisp at the edges.
  4. Step 4: Rest chicken for 5 minutes before serving, garnished with fresh rosemary sprigs and accompanied by lemon wedges for a bright, fresh finish.
