Description
Juicy chicken thighs and golden roasted potatoes come together in one pan with a rich homemade gravy. This hearty and comforting meal is easy to prepare and perfect for any weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
1 ½ pounds baby potatoes, halved
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a large baking dish or sheet pan.
- Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Rub with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- Toss the halved baby potatoes with a bit of olive oil, rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Arrange them around the chicken on the pan.
- Bake uncovered for 45–50 minutes, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the potatoes are golden and tender.
- While the chicken and potatoes bake, make the gravy. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
- Whisk in the flour and cook for 1–2 minutes until lightly golden.
- Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer for 5–7 minutes until thickened.
- Let the chicken and potatoes rest for 5 minutes after baking. Serve hot with a generous drizzle of gravy.
Notes
Swap rosemary for thyme or sage for a different flavor profile.
Add a pinch of cayenne or red pepper flakes for heat.
Add carrots or green beans during the last 20 minutes of baking for extra vegetables.
Use sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes for a sweeter twist.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3–4 days.
Reheat in the oven at 350°F for best texture, or use the microwave.
If the gravy thickens too much when cold, stir in a splash of water or broth while reheating.
