Description
Easy one-pan chicken and potatoes is a simple oven-baked dinner made with juicy chicken, tender potatoes, and a bright lemon garlic marinade.
Ingredients
- 8 chicken thighs and drumsticks (about 2½ pounds)
- 1½ pounds baby potatoes, halved
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ¼ cup lemon juice
- 6 garlic cloves, pressed
- 1 teaspoon 7 spice
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
2. Pat the chicken and potatoes dry with paper towels and place them in a large rimmed baking dish in a single layer.
3. Whisk the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, spices, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
4. Pour the marinade over the chicken and potatoes and toss to coat evenly.
5. Bake uncovered for 55 to 65 minutes, until the potatoes are fork-tender and the chicken is cooked through.
6. Broil for 3 to 5 minutes if needed to add color.
7. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
Dry the chicken and potatoes well to help them roast instead of steam.
Bake the dish uncovered for better browning.
Cook chicken to an internal temperature of 165°F.
Adjust seasoning to taste or add chili flakes for heat.
