1. Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Season the Chicken & Potatoes
- In a large bowl, toss the chicken and potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, oregano/thyme, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until everything is well coated.
3. Arrange in Pan
- In a large oven-safe skillet, roasting pan, or baking dish, arrange the chicken pieces skin-side up.
- Scatter the potatoes around the chicken.
- Dot with butter and tuck in some fresh rosemary or thyme sprigs if using.
4. Roast
- Roast in the preheated oven for 40–45 minutes, or until the chicken skin is crispy and the internal temp reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Stir the potatoes halfway through roasting for even browning.
5. Optional Finish
- For extra crispness, broil for the last 2–3 minutes, keeping a close eye to avoid burning.
- Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top just before serving for a pop of brightness.
Serving Suggestions:
- A side of green beans, steamed broccoli, or a fresh salad pairs beautifully.
- Crusty bread to soak up the garlicky juices!
