Oven-Roasted Herb Chicken with Lemon-Garlic Potatoes
Ingredients
- 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 1/2 pounds baby potatoes, halved
- 1 medium-sized onion, sliced
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This ensures even cooking and the perfect crispy skin on the chicken.
2. Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to incorporate all flavors.
3. Marinate the Chicken: Place chicken thighs in a large bowl or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
4. Season Potatoes and Onion: In a separate bowl, combine halved baby potatoes and sliced onion. Drizzle with a bit of olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
5. Arrange in a Baking Dish: In a large baking dish, arrange the marinated chicken thighs skin-side up. Surround the chicken with the seasoned potatoes and onion, creating an even layer around the meat.
6. Roast in the Oven: Place the dish in the preheated oven and roast for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken thighs reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the potatoes are golden brown and tender.
7. Rest and Serve: Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before serving to let the juices redistribute. Serve the chicken with roasted potatoes and onion, garnished with additional rosemary and thyme if desired.
