Steps

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice (from half the lemon), lemon zest, rosemary, thyme, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.

  3. 3

    Place chicken thighs in a large bowl or on a baking sheet. Pour the herb mixture over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Add optional potatoes and onion, tossing to coat.

  4. 4

    Arrange chicken (and vegetables if using) in a single layer on a baking sheet, skin side up. Slice the remaining half of the lemon into thin rounds and place them among the chicken.

  5. 5

    Roast for 30-40 minutes, or until chicken skin is crispy and golden, and internal temperature reaches 175°F (80°C).

  6. 6

    Let rest for 5 minutes before serving, allowing juices to redistribute.
