A mouthwatering dish featuring juicy chicken thighs topped with a rich garlic butter parmesan mixture, paired with perfectly roasted Yukon Gold potatoes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 1.5 lbs / 680 g)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened (about 56 g)
  • ½ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese (about 50 g)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 pound small Yukon Gold potatoes, halved or quartered (450 g)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (30 ml)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Toss the halved Yukon Gold potatoes with olive oil, rosemary, salt, pepper, and half the paprika. Spread the potatoes evenly on a baking sheet or one side of a large oven-safe skillet.
  3. Roast the potatoes for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden and tender.
  4. Combine the softened butter, minced garlic, grated Parmesan, remaining paprika, salt, and pepper in a separate bowl. Mix well to create the garlic butter parmesan mixture.
  5. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season both sides lightly with salt and pepper.
  6. Heat an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and add a little olive oil.
  7. Place the chicken thighs skin-side down in the hot skillet. Sear for 5-6 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy, then flip and cook the other side for 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
  8. Spread the garlic butter parmesan mixture over the skin of each chicken thigh.
  9. Transfer the skillet with chicken to the oven (or place chicken on a baking sheet if potatoes are roasted separately). Roast for 15-20 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the topping is bubbly and golden.

Notes

Pat the chicken dry before seasoning for crispier skin. Use high-quality Parmesan for best results. Experiment with spices for added flavor.
