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
- 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.
- 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.
- Season generously: Sprinkle salt and black pepper evenly over the chicken and potatoes to enhance flavor.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
