Description

A simple and delicious one-pan meal featuring juicy chicken thighs and tender potatoes roasted together in a fragrant garlic butter sauce. This recipe makes for a complete, comforting dinner with minimal cleanup and maximum flavor.


Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs

Vegetables

  • 1 lb baby potatoes, halved

Seasonings and Fats

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the ingredients: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Halve the baby potatoes and pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel for a crispier skin.
  2. Arrange chicken and potatoes: On a large baking sheet, spread out the halved potatoes and place the chicken thighs skin-side up among them, ensuring everything is in a single layer for even cooking.
  3. Season generously: Sprinkle salt and black pepper evenly over the chicken and potatoes to enhance flavor.
  4. Add garlic butter: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter and minced garlic. Drizzle this mixture evenly over the chicken and potatoes, ensuring good coverage for richness and aroma.
  5. Bake until golden and cooked through: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the potatoes are tender and golden brown.
  6. Serve hot: Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute. Enjoy your flavorful one-pan garlic butter chicken and potatoes immediately.

Notes

  • For crispier skin, broil the dish for the last 2-3 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
  • You can substitute baby potatoes with fingerling or Yukon gold potatoes if desired.
  • Feel free to add fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme for additional flavor.
  • Make sure to space out the chicken and potatoes well to ensure even roasting.
