# What You'll Need:

→ Proteins

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

→ Vegetables

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

05 - 3 tablespoons olive oil

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

# How To:

01 - Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for convenient 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 seasoning mixture and toss thoroughly to coat all surfaces evenly. Remove and set aside on a clean plate.
04 - Add radishes, potatoes, and red onion to the remaining seasoning mixture in the bowl and toss well to ensure all pieces are evenly coated.
05 - Spread coated vegetables evenly across the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Position chicken thighs skin side up nestled among the vegetables.
06 - Roast for 30 to 35 minutes, or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit and skin is golden brown. Vegetables should be tender and caramelized.
07 - Remove from oven. Drizzle all components with fresh lemon juice and sprinkle with lemon zest. Add chopped fresh parsley if desired.
08 - Transfer to serving plates while hot. Spoon pan juices over chicken and vegetables before serving.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The radishes transform into these incredible morsels that taste like they have been kissed by sweetness, losing all that raw bite
  • Clean up is literally just tossing the parchment paper, which means more time enjoying dinner and less at the sink
02 -
  • Crowding the pan is the enemy of crispy skin. Give everything room to breathe and the chicken will reward you with perfectly crisp texture.
  • The pan juices are concentrated flavor. Do not wash that pan down the drain without tasting them first. They are like liquid gold.
03 -
  • Marinate the chicken for up to 4 hours before roasting for even deeper flavor penetration
  • Use a meat thermometer to check doneness. 165°F (74°C) is your target for perfectly cooked chicken
