Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces chicken thighs, bone-in and skin-on
  • 1.5 pounds baby potatoes, halved
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated
Seasonings & Fats
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Equipment

  • Large baking sheet or roasting pan
  • Mixing bowls
  • Meat thermometer

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F. Pat the chicken thighs completely dry with paper towels, then season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the halved potatoes with olive oil, half of the minced garlic, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  3. In a small bowl, combine melted butter with remaining garlic, parmesan cheese, and remaining Italian seasoning. Mix well.
  4. Arrange the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a large baking sheet or roasting pan. Place chicken thighs on top of the potatoes, skin side up.
  5. Brush the garlic parmesan butter mixture generously over each chicken thigh, making sure to coat thoroughly.
  6. Roast for 35-40 minutes until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and skin is golden and crispy. Potatoes should be fork-tender with crispy edges.
  7. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Reheating: Reheat in a 350°F oven for 15 minutes to restore crispiness, or microwave in 30-second intervals.
Substitutions: Chicken breasts can replace thighs (reduce cooking time to 25-30 minutes). Any potato variety works well.
Pro Tip: For extra crispy skin, broil for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking, watching closely to prevent burning.
