Description
These roasted chicken thighs and potatoes bake into a golden, flavorful meal that tastes like home. Fresh thyme, grain mustard, and a hint of ginger turn this simple oven dish into a comforting, healthy dinner that’s easy enough for weeknights and special enough for Sundays.
Ingredients
- bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 2 medium Yukon potatoes, chopped
- 1/2 cup (1 small) chopped onion
- 1/3 cup chopped red bell pepper
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1/3 cup fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon grain mustard (Maille Classic Dijon Old Style)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Boil potatoes for 4 minutes, then drain.
- Mix olive oil, mustard, ginger, thyme, salt, pepper, onion, and bell pepper in a bowl.
- Coat chicken thighs in the marinade and place in a casserole dish.
- Toss potatoes in the remaining marinade and arrange around the chicken.
- Cover and marinate for 1–2 hours in the refrigerator.
- Roast for about 1 hour, until the chicken skin is golden and crispy and potatoes are tender.
Notes
For extra crispiness: Finish the last 5 minutes under the broiler for that irresistible golden top.
Swap the veggies: Carrots, zucchini, or even cherry tomatoes work wonderfully with the same marinade.
Boneless option: Boneless, skinless chicken thighs work too — just reduce the baking time to about 35–40 minutes.
Make it ahead: Marinate the night before and refrigerate. The flavor gets even better by dinnertime.
