Equipment
- Oven
- Baking Sheet
- Large bowl
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 4-6 thighs)
- 3 cups assorted sturdy vegetables (e.g., 1 head broccoli florets, 1 chopped red bell pepper, 1 cup chopped potatoes)
- 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
Seasonings
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to ensure crispy skin, then place them in a large bowl.
- Chop vegetables into bite-sized pieces; if using potatoes, cut them slightly smaller or give them a 10-15 minute head start in the oven before adding other ingredients.
Combining and Roasting
- Add the chopped vegetables to the bowl with the chicken.
- Drizzle olive oil over the chicken and vegetables.
- Add oregano, thyme, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- Toss everything together until chicken and vegetables are evenly coated.
- Spread the seasoned chicken and vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring space between pieces.
- Roast for 25-40 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the skin is golden and crispy, and vegetables are tender-crisp.
- For extra crispy skin, broil for the last 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
Serving
- Remove from the oven and serve hot, optionally with a green salad or crusty bread.
Notes
Bone-in chicken thighs typically take longer to cook than boneless. Adjust roasting time accordingly. If you prefer a stronger garlic flavor, you can use fresh minced garlic instead of garlic powder. For a different flavor profile, try adding other herbs like rosemary or sage.
