Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken thighs
- 3 large potatoes
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 pieces garlic cloves
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 piece lemon
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash and pat dry the chicken thighs. Place them in a large roasting pan or on a baking sheet.
Peel and cut the potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Add them to the roasting pan around the chicken.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic cloves, salt, and black pepper.
Pour half of the olive oil mixture over the chicken and the other half over the potatoes. Toss the potatoes to ensure they are well coated.
Strip the rosemary and thyme leaves from their stems and scatter them evenly over the chicken and potatoes.
Cut the lemon in half, squeeze the juice over the chicken and potatoes, and then place the squeezed lemon halves in the pan for added flavor.
Cut the butter into small pieces and distribute them evenly over the chicken.
Roast in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C) and the potatoes are tender and crispy.
Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the chicken and potatoes warm, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.
