Juicy chicken thighs roasted with caramelized potatoes, sweet radishes, and zesty lemon for an effortless one-pan dinner.

# Required Ingredients:

→ 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 tbsp olive oil
06 - 1 tsp garlic powder
07 - 1 tsp smoked paprika
08 - 1 tsp dried thyme
09 - 1/2 tsp salt
10 - 1/2 tsp black pepper

→ Finish

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

# Directions:

01 - Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
02 - In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper.
03 - Add chicken thighs to the bowl and toss to coat evenly with the seasoning mixture. Remove and set aside.
04 - Add radishes, potatoes, and red onion to the remaining marinade in the bowl and toss well to coat.
05 - Spread vegetables evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Nestle chicken thighs, skin side up, among the vegetables.
06 - Roast for 30 to 35 minutes, until chicken is golden and cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F and vegetables are tender.
07 - Remove from the oven. Drizzle everything with lemon juice and sprinkle with lemon zest and chopped parsley.
08 - Serve hot, spooning pan juices over the chicken and vegetables.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The radishes lose their sharp bite and gain this incredible sweetness that balances perfectly with juicy chicken
  • Everything cooks on one pan so you can relax while dinner practically makes itself
  • That bright lemon finish at the end makes the whole dish taste restaurant-special
02 -
  • Crowding the pan traps steam and prevents proper roasting, so use two sheets if needed
  • That chicken skin needs direct heat to crisp up, so don't flip the thighs halfway through cooking
  • Letting the chicken rest for just 5 minutes after roasting makes a huge difference in juiciness
03 -
  • Pre-cut your vegetables in the morning and store them in the fridge for a lightning-fast dinner prep
  • Don't skip the parchment paper—those caramelized pan juices are delicious but a pain to scrub off
