Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 1.5 pounds Yukon gold potatoes
- 3 heads Garlic (whole heads)
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and dry the potatoes. Cut them into 1-inch chunks and set aside.
Peel and separate the garlic cloves from one head of garlic. Leave the remaining garlic heads whole, slicing off the tops to expose the cloves inside.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, chopped rosemary, thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season them lightly with additional salt and pepper on both sides.
On a large, rimmed baking sheet or oven-safe skillet, toss the potato chunks, peeled garlic cloves, and whole garlic heads with half of the olive oil mixture until evenly coated. Spread the potatoes out to create a single layer, leaving space for the chicken thighs.
Nestle the seasoned chicken thighs skin-side up among the potatoes and garlic. Brush the remaining olive oil mixture over the chicken thighs, ensuring every piece is evenly coated.
Dot the baking sheet with small pieces of butter for added richness.
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 skin is golden and crispy.
To crisp the potatoes further, carefully remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside. Toss the potatoes and return them to the oven for an additional 10 minutes, if desired.
Remove the whole roasted garlic heads from the sheet and serve them alongside the chicken and potatoes. Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves onto the chicken or potatoes for added flavor.
Serve the dish hot and enjoy the comforting, garlicky goodness!
