Ingredients

scaled from 3 servings
  • 6 (about 2½ lb) bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1 lb baby potatoes, halved
  • 3/4 lb carrots, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 medium yellow onion, cut into wedges
  • 1 1/4 tbsp olive oil
  • 3/4 tsp dried thyme
  • 3/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 3/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Method (tap to check — screen stays awake)

  1. Heat the oven to 425°F for about 10 minutes; the rack should sit in the center so the chicken and vegetables cook evenly.
  2. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels, then season them all over with the salt, pepper, thyme, and garlic powder; dry skin browns better than damp skin.
  3. Toss the potatoes, carrots, and onion with the olive oil on a large rimmed baking sheet until lightly coated, then spread them into one layer so they roast instead of steam.
  4. Set the chicken thighs skin-side up among the vegetables, leaving a little space around each piece so hot air can circulate.
  5. Roast at 425°F for 50–60 minutes, turning the vegetables once after about 30 minutes; the chicken skin should be deep golden and the thickest part should read 165°F, while potatoes are easily pierced with a fork.
  6. Rest the chicken on the pan for 5 minutes before serving so its juices settle; if the vegetables need more color, leave them in the oven while the chicken rests.
