Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 Chicken Thighs
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil + 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 Tablespoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • ½ teaspoon red chili flakes
  • 1 ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 medium russet potatoes, chopped
  • 4 medium carrots, roughly chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary (1 teaspoon dried)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400° Fahrenheit
  2. Pat chicken thighs dry with a paper towel
  3. Lightly rub olive oil over thighs

  8. Bake on the middle rack for 35 minutes or until chicken internal temperature reaches 165° Fahrenheit.
  9. If the skin is not crispy enough, remove potatoes and carrots and place the chicken under the broiler for 1-2 minutes.
