Oven-Baked Chicken Thighs with Potatoes

Step 3: Coat the Chicken and Potatoes
Add the chicken thighs and baby potatoes to the bowl. Toss everything thoroughly to coat in the marinade.

📝 Optional: Let it marinate for 30 minutes to deepen the flavor.

Step 4: Arrange in the Dish
Transfer everything to your prepared baking dish. Place chicken skin-side up, and spread the potatoes around in a single layer.

Optional: Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top for a bright, tangy finish.

Step 5: Bake
Bake for 45–55 minutes, until:

Chicken reaches 75°C (165°F) internally
Skin is crisp and golden
Potatoes are fork-tender and caramelized
🔄 Halfway through, spoon pan juices over the chicken and stir the potatoes for even browning.

Step 6: Rest and Serve
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Pair with:

Steamed green beans or broccoli
A crisp green salad
Roasted Brussels sprouts or carrots
And don’t skip the pan juices — they’re pure gold.
