Instructions
Creating Garlic Butter Chicken and Potatoes is a straightforward process. Follow these simple steps to achieve a mouthwatering result:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
3. Season Chicken: Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt, pepper, and paprika.
4. Prepare Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the halved potatoes with 3 tablespoons of melted butter, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper until well coated.
5. Arrange on Sheet: Place the seasoned chicken skin-side up on the baking sheet. Spread the prepared potatoes around the chicken.
6. Melt Garlic Butter: In a small saucepan, melt the remaining butter over low heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
7. Drizzle Garlic Butter: Pour the garlic butter mixture over the chicken and potatoes, ensuring everything gets a lovely coating.
8. Roast: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 30-35 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C) and the potatoes are tender.
9. Broil for Crispiness: If desired, turn on the broiler for the last 2–3 minutes to crisp up the chicken skin.
10. Garnish and Serve: Once done, remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
