Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare the pan

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a rimmed half sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly oil it so the vegetables don't stick. Arrange your tools: a cutting board, chef's knife, and an instant-read thermometer if you have one.

    Tip: A heavy rimmed half sheet pan conducts heat more evenly and prevents juices from spilling; see recommended pans here: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=half+sheet+pan&tag=lesson0f-20

  2. Dry and season the chicken

    Pat the chicken thighs very dry with paper towels. In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon zest and juice, minced garlic, smoked paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper. Toss the chicken in the mixture until evenly coated.

    Tip: Dry skin browns better; resist the urge to skip the pat-dry step.

  3. Prep the vegetables

    In a second bowl, toss the halved potatoes, carrots, red onion, and Brussels sprouts (if using) with a drizzle of olive oil, a pinch of salt, and some pepper. Spread the vegetables in a single layer on the sheet pan, leaving space in the center for the chicken.

    Tip: Cut vegetables into similar sizes so they cook evenly.

  4. Arrange chicken on the pan

    Nestle the seasoned chicken thighs skin-side up among the vegetables on the sheet pan, leaving about an inch between pieces for airflow. Spoon any remaining marinade over the vegetables for extra flavor.

    Tip: Skin side up helps the skin crisp without steaming.

  5. Roast until nearly done

    Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and roast for 30 minutes. Check the vegetables; if smaller pieces are browning too fast, stir them gently or move them to the edges of the pan.

  6. Finish cooking and check temperature

    After 30 minutes, continue roasting for another 10–12 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a thigh (not touching bone) reads 165°F (74°C). If you want extra-crisp skin, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end watching closely.

    Tip: Use an instant-read thermometer to avoid overcooking: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=instant+read+thermometer&tag=lesson0f-20

  7. Rest the chicken

    Remove the pan from the oven and transfer the chicken and vegetables to a platter. Let the chicken rest for 5–10 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.

    Tip: Resting improves juiciness and makes carving easier.

  8. Serve and garnish

    Serve the chicken thighs alongside the roasted vegetables, sprinkle with chopped parsley and an extra squeeze of lemon if desired. Enjoy hot with crusty bread or a simple green salad.

Nutrition calculation pending. Bone-in thigh weight is not edible meat weight; discarded fat and skin choice vary.

We have withheld the older estimate rather than show numbers without a reliable serving basis. You can still add the ingredients to your shopping list. Adding this recipe to a meal plan makes that day’s totals unavailable.

You’ll review the recipe version before adding it. Meal planner additions let you choose a day, meal and servings per person. Your current plan and shopping list stay in this browser.

For crisp skin

Pat the chicken dry and give the thighs room on the tray. Cut the vegetables evenly and check them as they roast.

Checking doneness

Measure the thickest part of the chicken without touching bone and confirm 165°F (74°C). If the vegetables finish first, remove them while the chicken continues cooking.
