Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C).
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to ensure crispy skin. Season both sides with 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, and the paprika. Set aside.
Cut the potatoes into quarters and place them in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with 1.5 tablespoons of olive oil and season with 0.5 teaspoon of salt. Toss to coat evenly.
Heat 1.5 tablespoons of olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the chicken thighs skin-side down. Sear for 4-5 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy, then flip and cook for another 3 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the potatoes, cut side down, and cook for 3-4 minutes until they start to brown. Add the garlic cloves and rosemary sprigs to the skillet, stirring gently to combine.
Nestle the chicken thighs on top of the potatoes, skin-side up. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the dish, then slice the other half and tuck the lemon slices into the pan.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165Β°F (74Β°C) and the potatoes are tender.
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional rosemary sprigs, if desired.
Serve hot and enjoy your Rosemary and Garlic Chicken and Potatoes!
