# What you need:

→ Proteins

01 - 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs

→ Vegetables

02 - 1 lb radishes, trimmed and halved
03 - 1 lb baby potatoes, halved
04 - 1 medium red onion, cut into wedges

→ Marinade & Seasonings

05 - 3 tablespoons olive oil
06 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
07 - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
08 - 1 teaspoon dried thyme
09 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
10 - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

→ Finish

11 - 1 lemon, zested and juiced
12 - 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, optional

# Directions:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
03 - Add chicken thighs to the marinade mixture and toss thoroughly to coat all surfaces. Remove coated chicken and set aside on a clean plate.
04 - Add radishes, potatoes, and red onion to the remaining marinade in the bowl. Toss vegetables until evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
05 - Spread coated vegetables evenly across the prepared baking sheet. Nestle chicken thighs skin side up among the vegetables, maintaining even spacing.
06 - Place in preheated oven and roast for 30 to 35 minutes until chicken is golden brown and cooked through with an internal temperature of 165°F, and vegetables are tender.
07 - Remove from oven. Drizzle lemon juice over the entire sheet pan and sprinkle with lemon zest and fresh parsley if desired.
08 - Transfer to serving dishes while hot, spooning pan juices over chicken and vegetables.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The radishes lose all their peppery bite and turn candy sweet in the oven
  • Everything cooks on one pan so you can relax while dinner practically makes itself
02 -
  • Crowding the pan will steam everything instead of roasting it so use two pans if needed
  • Letting the chicken rest for 5 minutes after roasting keeps all the juices from running out onto the cutting board
03 -
  • Room temperature chicken roasts more evenly so take it out of the fridge 30 minutes before cooking
  • If the chicken skin is not as crispy as you like, run the pan under the broiler for 2 minutes watching closely
