Description
A simple yet flavorful One Pan Chicken & Potatoes recipe that requires only 10 minutes of prep. Juicy chicken thighs and tender roasted potatoes are cooked together in a garlic, lemon, and spice marinade for an easy weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 chicken thighs and drumsticks (bone-in, skin-on, approx 2.5 lbs)
- 1.5 lbs baby potatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 6 cloves garlic, pressed
- 1 teaspoon 7 Spice (Baharat)
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Pat the chicken and potatoes thoroughly dry with paper towels to ensure crispiness.
- In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, 7 Spice, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Place chicken and potatoes in a 9×13 inch baking dish. Pour the sauce over everything.
- Use your hands to toss and coat the chicken and potatoes evenly with the marinade. Arrange chicken skin-side up.
- Bake uncovered for 55-65 minutes, or until potatoes are fork-tender and chicken reaches 165°F.
- Optional: Broil for 3-5 minutes to extra-crisp the skin.
- Let rest for 5-10 minutes, garnish with parsley, and serve.
Notes
- Spice Substitute: If you don’t have 7 Spice, mix equal parts allspice, cumin, and cinnamon.
- Chicken: Do not use boneless skinless breasts for this method as they will dry out.
- Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- Reheating: Reheat in the oven at 350°F to maintain crispy skin.
