Ingredients

  1. 1/3 cup olive oil
  2. 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  3. 1 1/2 teaspoons roughly chopped fresh thyme
  4. 1 1/4 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
  5. 4 cloves garlic, chopped
  6. Grated zest and juice of 1 lemon, plus 1 lemon cut into wedges
  7. 6 skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs (4 to 4 1/2 pounds)
  8. 2 pounds red potatoes (6 medium), cut into 1-inch pieces
  9. 1 red onion, sliced
  10. 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  2. Whisk the olive oil, salt, thyme, pepper, garlic, lemon zest and lemon juice together in a large bowl.
  3. Add the chicken, potatoes, red onion and lemon wedges to a sheet pan.
  4. Pour the olive oil mixture over the sheet pan and toss so that everything is evenly coated. Turn the chicken skin-side up and space the pieces evenly apart.
  5. Roast on the middle oven rack, rotating the pan halfway through, until the chicken is golden brown and registers 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer (avoiding bone), 45 to 50 minutes.
  6. Remove to a platter and sprinkle with the parsley. Drizzle with any juices from the sheet pan and squeeze the roasted lemon wedges over the chicken.

This was really good & simple! I added roasted broccoli & baled rolls with butter …
Calvin Taylor
This was easy and good. Chicken skin was crispy. I did add onions half way thru so they didn’t burn (following other recommendations). Also added some veggies I had on hand, so had a complete meal on one sheet.
Robert Cummings
Very moist and delicious chicken. The potatoes were very tender and tasty. I’d probably quarter the onions next time and add them later in the cooking. The onions were burnt. Overall, great recipe and easy to prepare.

This was delicious! Based on previous reviews, I did cut lemon back, but I guess I cut it back too much, won’t cut back as much next time. My only problem was my onions were completely burned. Next time I’ll add them a little later, not cook as long. But the chicken was phenomenal! The skin got the most wonderful crispness! I expected to broil a bit at the end to crisp it up. But I didn’t need to do that. I cooked the amount of time suggested and the chicken and potatoes turned out perfectly! Will definitely be making this again! I agree with other reviews, FN definitely got the salt amount incorrect. Should be more like 1 tsp, maybe a bit more, definitelynot 1 Tblsp. Also, I did use dried thyme, didn’t have fresh, and it worked great!

I love this recipe!! I have made it 17 times. It’s my go to dish in the winter and fall.
Justin Jenkins
I cut the salt to 1 1/2 tsp. Great flavor in this dish. I used dried thyme but followed the rest of the recipe.
Johnathan Coleman
I used dry thyme, and my family really enjoyed this recipe. I did cut down on the salt as others suggested. I love Ree’s recipes!
Dorothy Rodriguez
Great flavors and easy recipe! Like some other comments, I cut way back on the salt and there was too much oil at the bottom of the pan when it was finished cooking. Not sure if my pan was smaller than what she used and that’s why so much oil was leftover? I’ll definitely make again just cut back on the oil.
Dustin Robles
Great recipe! I used boneless skinless chicken breasts and also dried thyme because that’s what I had. It was still really delicious. I will make this again! It’s so easy.
Dominic King
Other than decreasing the salt to 1 tsp I made the recipe exactly as written. It was so good! I couldn’t stop eating it. With a busy toddler I need more recipes like this in my life….super simple to make and really tasty!
