Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1.5 lbs baby potatoes, halved
  • 4 tbsp olive oil, divided
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). While the oven heats, pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels - this helps create that crispy skin we all love.
  2. In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of olive oil with half of the minced garlic, oregano, thyme, paprika, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Rub this mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken thighs.
  3. Press the Parmesan cheese onto the skin side of each chicken thigh, creating an even layer that will form a delicious crust during baking.
  4. Toss the halved baby potatoes with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, remaining minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Make sure each potato piece is well coated.
  5. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Place the chicken thighs skin-side up among the potatoes. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the potatoes are tender and golden.
  6. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

Make sure potatoes are cut into similar-sized pieces for even cooking. Pat chicken dry for crispy skin - moisture is the enemy of crispy skin! Can customize herbs with rosemary, basil, or Italian seasoning blend.
