Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese (divided)
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Potatoes
- 1 pound baby potatoes, halved
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
Garnish
- Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the chicken and potatoes evenly.
- Mix Seasoning: In a bowl, combine the Parmesan cheese, paprika, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes for a flavorful seasoning blend.
- Prepare Chicken: Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels, rub them with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and then evenly coat them with half of the Parmesan seasoning mixture.
- Season Potatoes: In a separate bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, and the remaining Parmesan seasoning mixture to ensure they are well coated.
- Arrange: Spread the chicken thighs and seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet or oven-safe skillet, ensuring even cooking and browning.
- Bake: Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Broil (Optional): For extra crispness, broil the chicken and potatoes for 2-3 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
- Serve: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve the garlic Parmesan chicken and potatoes hot for a satisfying meal.
Notes
- Ensure chicken thighs are dried well before seasoning to achieve crispy skin.
- Adjust red pepper flakes according to heat preference or omit if sensitive to spice.
- Use a meat thermometer to check doneness of chicken for best results.
- Baby potatoes can be replaced with fingerling or small Yukon gold potatoes.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven.
