Ingredients
- 4 bone-in skin-on chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 4 cloves minced garlic divided
- 1 tablespoon fresh Rosemary minced
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 sweet potatoes cut into ½” thick slices
- 2 Granny Smith apples cut into ½” thick slices
Instructions
For the Chicken
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Dry the chicken thighs on both sides with a paper towel and loosen the skin from the meat.
- Sprinkle both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper.
- In a small bowl, add 1 tablespoon olive oil, softened butter, 2 cloves of garlic, and rosemary and mix well.
- Rub the mixture over each chicken thigh and under the skin of each piece to help make it crispier.
- Place the thighs, skin side up, in the center of the sheet pan.
- Cook for 10 minutes.
For the Vegetables
- In a separate medium bowl, add the sweet potatoes, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and 2 cloves garlic.
- After the chicken has cooked for 10 minutes, add the potatoes around the chicken in a single layer.
- Bake for an additional 15 minutes.
- Then turn the sweet potatoes over and add the apple slices to the pan.
- Cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink and is 165 degrees F on a meat thermometer
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days.
- Substitute boneless, skinless chicken thighs or chicken breasts if desired.
- Olive oil helps the chicken and vegetables crisp.
- Butter helps the chicken brown and keep it moist.
- Substitute ¼ teaspoon garlic powder per clove if desired.
- Substitute sage or thyme for the rosemary.
- Substitute Yukon gold or red potatoes for sweet potatoes if preferred.
- Granny smith apples add a nice tartness and hold their shape well. Feel free to use other apples like macintosh or cortland as well.
- Add other vegetables like brussel sprouts, broccoli and/ or sliced sweet or red onions
