Ingredients
  

4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs

2 large yukon gold potatoes, cut into wedges

1 lemon, zested and juiced

3 tablespoons olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary)

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh rosemary sprigs for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

    Prepare the Marinade: In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.

      Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken thighs to the bowl, ensuring they are well-coated in the marinade. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours if time permits) in the refrigerator.

        Prepare the Potatoes: While the chicken marinates, toss the potato wedges in the remaining marinade, adding a little more olive oil and seasoning if needed. Ensure they are evenly coated.

          Assemble on Sheet Pan: On a large sheet pan, arrange the marinated chicken thighs in the center. Surround them with the potato wedges, making sure to spread everything out evenly for even cooking.

            Roast in the Oven: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and roast for about 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 75°C) and the potatoes are golden and tender. You can flip the potatoes halfway through for even browning.

              Garnish and Serve: Once done, remove the sheet pan from the oven. Let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs before serving.
