Ingredients
4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
1.5 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, cut into 1-inch chunks
4 tablespoons olive oil
5 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
3/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese, divided
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400°F and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
2. Pat chicken thighs dry and place in a large bowl with the chopped potatoes.
3. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, and half of the parmesan.
4. Pour the garlic oil mixture over the chicken and potatoes. Toss until fully coated.
5. Spread chicken and potatoes onto the prepared sheet pan in a single layer.
6. Bake for 35–40 minutes, flipping potatoes halfway through.
7. Sprinkle remaining parmesan over the top and broil for 2–3 minutes until golden brown.
8. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Always dry the chicken thoroughly before marinating to help it crisp.
Don’t overcrowd the pan—spread everything out to avoid steaming.
Use freshly grated parmesan for the best melt and flavor.
