Description

Savor the vibrant flavors of succulent chicken thighs marinated in zesty lemon and fresh herbs, perfectly roasted alongside tender baby potatoes for a delightful one-pan meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bone-in chicken thighs (skin-on)
  • 2 fresh lemons (juiced and zested)
  • 2 tbsp fresh rosemary (chopped)
  • 2 tbsp fresh thyme (leaves only)
  • 4 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lb baby potatoes (halved if large)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly spray a large baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine juice and zest from two lemons, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme leaves, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  3. Marinate the Chicken: Place chicken thighs in a resealable bag or bowl. Pour half of the marinade over them, ensuring each thigh is well-coated. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes or overnight for maximum flavor.
  4. Prep the Potatoes: Wash baby potatoes thoroughly. Halve any larger ones for even cooking. Toss potatoes in the remaining marinade.
  5. Assemble Your Dish: Arrange marinated chicken thighs skin-side up in the prepared baking dish. Scatter the marinated potatoes around the chicken.
  6. Roasting Time: Roast in the preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of at least 165°F (74°C) and is golden brown.
  7. Serve: Transfer to plates and drizzle with any remaining marinade from the pan before serving. Enjoy!
