Method
Wash the potatoes2 and onions3; cut the potatoes into wedges about 2 cm thick; cut the onions into rings; peel and crush the garlic4; preheat the oven to 200°C.
Toss the potatoes2 and onions3 with oil, salt, and paprika until every piece is coated.
Rub the chicken1 thighs with salt, pepper, and crushed garlic4.
Spread the potatoes2 and onions3 on a baking sheet, then place the thighs on top.
Bake the sheet in the oven for 45 minutes at 200°C; the chicken1 should reach an internal temperature of 74°C, and the potatoes2 should brown and become tender.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes; serve hot with the bed of potatoes2 and onions3.
Tips
- Why it works
- Cut potatoes into 2 cm wedges so they cook evenly and brown faster without turning mushy. Thicker slices stay raw inside.
- Substitutions
- Use sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes for a caramelized flavor; swap paprika for 1 tsp smoked paprika for a deeper taste.
- Common mistakes
- Overcooking makes chicken dry and potatoes gray—check internal temp with a thermometer at 40 minutes.
- Storing and reheating
- Eat fresh or store for 3 days; reheat in a 180°C oven for 15 minutes with foil to avoid drying.
- Serve with
- Pair with a simple green salad and a slice of crusty bread for a filling weeknight dinner.
