Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 pieces fresh rosemary sprigs
- 500 grams baby potatoes, halved
- 3 pieces carrots, cut into sticks
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels, then rub the spice mixture evenly over the chicken, ensuring it goes under the skin for maximum flavor.
On a large baking sheet or roasting pan, arrange the chicken thighs skin-side up. Scatter the baby potatoes and carrots around the chicken.
Drizzle a bit of olive oil over the vegetables and toss lightly to coat them in the leftover spice marinade.
Place the rosemary sprigs on top of the chicken and vegetables for added aroma.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50–55 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C) and the skin is golden and crispy.
Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before serving to lock in the juices.
Serve warm with the roasted vegetables and enjoy your succulent baked chicken!
