instructions
    1

    Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).

    2

    In a large bowl, combine the chicken thighs, olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, salt, black pepper, and rosemary. Mix well until the chicken is well coated.

    3

    Wash the potatoes and cut them into wedges. Add them to the bowl and toss to coat with the remaining oil and seasoning mixture.

    4

    Arrange the chicken thighs and potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

    5

    Squeeze the juice of the lemon over the chicken and potatoes for a fresh flavor.

    6

    Bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is crispy.

    7

    Check the internal temperature of the chicken; it should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius).

    8

    Once ready, let it rest for a few minutes and serve hot.

Important Tips

  • Using a meat thermometer helps achieve perfectly cooked chicken.
  • If you like extra crispy skin, broil the chicken for the last 5 minutes of cooking.
