Ingredients

  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme or Italian seasoning
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1 lb red potatoes or baby potatoes, quartered
  • 3 carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 1 red onion, sliced
  • 1 bell pepper (optional), sliced
  • Lemon wedges (optional, for serving)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons olive oil with minced garlic, paprika, thyme (or Italian seasoning), salt, and pepper.
  3. Pat the chicken thighs dry and rub them all over with the seasoned oil mixture.
  4. Place the potatoes, carrots, red onion, and bell pepper (if using) on a large baking sheet. Drizzle with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat.
  5. Arrange the chicken thighs skin-side up among the vegetables on the baking sheet.
  6. Roast for 35-45 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the skin is golden and crispy.
  7. If desired, broil for 2-3 minutes at the end to further crisp the chicken skin.
  8. Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes.
  9. Serve hot with lemon wedges and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
