Notes
- You can use boneless skinless chicken thighs or bone-in skin-on chicken thighs as well. Cooking time may vary.
- It's possible to use any kind of potatoes you prefer including baby potatoes, russet or red potatoes.
- If you have the time, marinade the chicken separately for one to 8 hours in the fridge. If doing so, save some of the olive oil and spice mixture to mix with the potatoes before you're ready to bake.
- You can add other vegetables such as cauliflower, broccoli, zucchini or carrots to the sheet pan as well.
- Store the leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. To serve, place the leftovers in a pan and reheat over medium heat or in the oven until warm.
