ingredients

  • 8 chicken thighs, bone in*
  • 1.5 pounds of baby potatoes, halved or 3 Yukon gold potatoes, quartered or 4 red potatoes, halved*
  • Olive oil
  • 4 large carrots or a few handful of baby carrots
  • 1 large yellow onion
  • Salt and pepper
  • Italian seasoning
  • Pam cooking spray

directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Spray your sheet pan or roaster pan with Pam.
  3. Cut your veggies to about the same size, so that they cook evenly. I cut the onions into quarters or 8ths and make sure the carrots aren’t too big.
  4. Boil the carrots separately until they are a little soft. (Carrots tend to be under-cooked when the whole dish is complete, so cooking them a bit prior to roasting the combined ingredients makes them perfectly cooked. Trust me!)
  5. Arrange all the ingredients, including the carrots, onto your sheet or pan.
  6. Drizzle olive oil over all of the ingredients and use your hands to make sure all the ingredients are coated well.
  7. Season the entire pan with Italian seasoning and use your hands again to make sure your ingredients are covered completely.
  8. Sprinkle salt and pepper over the entire pan to taste.
  9. Roast uncovered for 60-90 minutes or until the chicken’s internal temperature reaches 165f.*

 

notes

You can use any parts of the chicken that you like. Sometimes I butcher a whole chicken and use that. I prefer chicken thighs (tastier, juicier) but it’s your choice.

Potatoes are also your choice – I like the creaminess of the Yukons.

Use a bluetooth thermometer to keep track of your chicken’s internal temp without having to open up the oven door! I use a wonderful meat probe called MEATER. It’s cordless and uses Bluetooth to connect with your phone. I mentioned it while making my lemon chicken recipe here and my meatloaf recipe here.
