Baked Chicken Thighs with Potatoes and Onions

🥣 Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven
    • Set to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a large baking dish or sheet pan.
  2. Prepare the Ingredients
    • In a large bowl, toss the potatoes and onions with 2 tbsp olive oil, ½ tsp salt, ½ tsp pepper, and ½ tsp paprika.
    • Arrange them evenly in the baking dish.
  3. Season the Chicken
    • Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels.
    • Rub with 1 tbsp olive oil, paprika, thyme, garlic, salt, and pepper.
    • Place the thighs skin-side up on top of the potatoes and onions.
  4. Bake
    • Roast uncovered for 45–55 minutes, until the chicken skin is crispy and golden brown and the potatoes are tender.
    • (Internal temperature of chicken should reach 165°F / 74°C.)
  5. Finish & Serve
    • Drizzle with a little lemon juice if desired.
    • Serve hot — each bite has crispy skin, caramelized onions, and buttery-soft potatoes!

💡 Tips

  • For even crispier chicken, broil the dish for the last 2–3 minutes.
  • Add carrots or bell peppers for extra color and sweetness.
  • You can substitute chicken thighs with drumsticks or bone-in breasts (adjust baking time as needed).
