Ingredients
For the Chicken:
- 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
For the Potatoes:
- 1.5 lbs baby potatoes, halved
- 1 lemon, sliced (optional, for garnish)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Mix the herb mixture: In a small bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper.
