Ingredients
- 8 chicken thighs Note 1
- 2 lbs potatoes Note 2
- 2 onions optional, Note 3
- 1 red bell pepper optional
Spices for chicken:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon sweet paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt or Kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- A pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes, optional
Spices for potatoes:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon sweet paprika
- 1 teaspoon rosemary
- ½ teaspoon thyme or oregano
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F/220, and lightly grease the baking sheet (alternatively, use parchment paper or aluminum foil).
- Pat the thighs dry with paper towels. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Seasoning mixture: Mix ½ teaspoon paprika, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper with 2 tablespoons of olive oil to obtain a paste (add a bit more oil if necessary) and rub the chicken parts with this mixture. Place them on the baking tray.
- Cut potatoes: Peel, wash, dry, halve and slice the potatoes. Place them in a bowl; add 1 tablespoon of oil, ½ teaspoon sweet paprika, ½ teaspoon fine sea salt, ¼ teaspoon pepper, 1 teaspoon rosemary, and ½ teaspoon thyme. Toss well to coat all over.
- If using other vegetables, prepare them as well. Clean and slice them thickly add toss them with the potatoes and the spices.
- Roast chicken and potatoes: Arrange the potatoes around the chicken thighs and roast for 40-45 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through (Note 4) and the potatoes are soft. Baste the thighs with the pan juices 2 or 3 times in between.
Notes
- You can use 4 thighs and 4 drumsticks OR 4 whole chicken legs. Whole chicken legs might need a few extra minutes of roasting time; make sure you check that they are cooked through.
- Preferably starchy potatoes (like Russet potatoes) or all-purpose potatoes. Waxy potatoes are not ideal for this recipe.
- The vegetables are optional, but I love to add some.
- The internal temperature measured with an instant-read thermometer should be 165°F/ 74°C (Amazon affiliate link).
- Store airtight in the fridge for about 3 days and reheat before serving. You can freeze the leftover thighs but not the potatoes.
