Description

A comforting and flavorful one-pan meal featuring crispy bone-in chicken thighs and tender Yukon gold potatoes infused with garlic and fresh thyme.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon Old Bay seasoning
  • 1 1/2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, sliced into thick rounds
  • 4 cloves garlic, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Rub chicken thighs with Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  3. In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear chicken thighs, skin side down, until golden and crisp, about 5 minutes. Flip and cook 3 more minutes. Remove and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add potato slices, garlic, and thyme. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until lightly browned, about 5 minutes per side.
  5. Return chicken thighs to the skillet on top of the potatoes. Transfer skillet to oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
  6. Serve hot with a spoonful of skillet juices over the top.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, broil the skillet for 2-3 minutes at the end of baking.
  • Substitute Yukon gold potatoes with red potatoes or fingerlings if desired.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
