Description
This Roasted Lemon Chicken Thighs with Potatoes recipe offers a deliciously crispy and juicy chicken paired with tender, flavorful potatoes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1 1/2 pounds Eastern or Yukon Gold potatoes (680g), scrubbed and cut into 1-inch chunks
- 1 lemon, sliced
- 10 cloves garlic, peeled
- ¼ cup chopped cilantro or parsley leaves
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Season the chicken thighs generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to enhance the flavor.
- Heat the olive oil in a roasting pan over medium-high heat on two burners. Place the chicken thighs skin-side down in the pan and sear for 5-7 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy. Flip the chicken over to cook the other side briefly.
- Add the potato chunks to the roasting pan, stirring to coat them well with the olive oil. Toss in the lemon slices and whole garlic cloves, mixing everything so that the potatoes and garlic are evenly coated in oil and lemon flavor.
- Transfer the roasting pan to the preheated oven. Roast for about 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C) and the potatoes are tender and golden.
- Remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle the chopped cilantro or parsley over the chicken and potatoes. Stir gently to distribute the fresh herbs and serve promptly for a delicious, comforting meal.
