Ingredients for Chicken and Potatoes Bake
- 8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 2 pounds baby potatoes, halved
- 24 garlic cloves, unpeeled
- ¼ cup butter, diced
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions: How to Roast Chicken and Potatoes
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
- Arrange chicken thighs skin-side up in the center of the pan. Scatter halved potatoes around the chicken.
- Distribute garlic cloves over and around the chicken and potatoes. Add the diced butter evenly, letting it melt into every crevice.
- Season generously with salt and pepper. Pro tip: Pat the chicken skin dry to get extra-crisp results.
- Roast for 50–60 minutes, until the chicken skin is golden brown and the potatoes are fork-tender.
- Remove the pan from the oven. Drizzle maple syrup over the chicken and potatoes, then return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes to caramelize.
- Let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving. This helps the juices redistribute for maximum flavor.
