Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 4 chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
Vegetables:
- 4 medium potatoes (Yukon Gold or red)
- Fresh parsley (for garnish)
Seasonings and Oil:
- 4 tablespoons (60 ml) olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare a culinary canvas by warming the oven to a robust 400F (200C), creating an ideal roasting environment.
- Slice potatoes into rustic wedges, transforming them into golden landscape pieces. Meticulously pat chicken thighs dry, ensuring a crisp exterior.
- Craft a flavor-packed seasoning blend by combining olive oil with aromatic garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper. Massage this complex mixture thoroughly into chicken thighs, allowing each crevice to absorb the robust spices.
- Strategically layer potato wedges across a baking dish, drizzling with additional olive oil and scattering complementary seasonings. Carefully nestle seasoned chicken thighs atop the potato foundation.
- Roast within the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, monitoring until chicken reaches a safe internal temperature of 165F (74C) and potatoes transform into tender, caramelized morsels.
- Elevate the dish’s visual appeal by sprinkling freshly chopped parsley, adding a vibrant green accent that signals freshness and completion.
Notes
- Add extra flavor by marinating chicken thighs for 2-3 hours before cooking to enhance tenderness and taste.
- For crispy potato edges, pat potatoes completely dry and use high-heat cooking oil like avocado or grapeseed.
- Create a gluten-free version by using certified gluten-free spices and checking ingredient labels carefully.
- Maximize nutrition by choosing organic, free-range chicken and using fresh herbs for garnishing instead of dried alternatives.
