03 - 1 lb baby potatoes, halved
04 - 1 medium red onion, cut into wedges

→ Marinade & Seasonings

05 - 3 tablespoons olive oil
06 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder

08 - 1 teaspoon dried thyme
09 - ½ teaspoon salt
10 - ½ teaspoon black pepper

→ Finish

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

# How-To Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
02 - In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper until combined.
03 - Add chicken thighs to the marinade bowl and toss thoroughly to coat all surfaces. Remove and set aside on a clean plate.
04 - Add radishes, potatoes, and red onion to the remaining marinade in the bowl and toss well until evenly coated.
05 - Spread coated vegetables evenly across the prepared baking sheet. Nestle chicken thighs skin side up among the vegetables.
06 - Roast for 30 to 35 minutes, until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and skin is golden brown, and vegetables are tender and caramelized.
07 - Remove from oven. Drizzle lemon juice over the entire sheet pan, then sprinkle lemon zest and fresh parsley if desired.
08 - Transfer to serving plates and spoon pan juices over chicken and vegetables. Serve immediately while hot.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • The radishes lose all their harsh bite and turn these gorgeous golden nuggets that even self-proclaimed radish haters will gobble up
  • Everything cooks on one pan so you can pour a glass of wine and relax while the oven does all the heavy lifting
02 -
  • Crowding the pan is the enemy of crispy chicken skin and caramelized vegetables, so use your largest baking sheet or two smaller ones if needed
  • The radishes will look weirdly raw and pink when they go in, but trust the process—they'll turn completely different and delicious
03 -
  • Pat the chicken skin dry with paper towels before tossing it in the marinade for extra crispy skin
  • Let the sheet pan rest for 5 minutes after roasting so the juices redistribute back into the meat
