Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

• 4 bone-in chicken thighs, skin on
• 2 cups baby potatoes, halved
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a large bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, parsley, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper.
3. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and brush them with olive oil. Then, press the chicken thighs into the breadcrumb mixture to coat evenly.
4. Place the chicken thighs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
5. Toss the halved baby potatoes in the remaining olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread them around the chicken on the baking sheet.
6. Roast the chicken and potatoes in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is golden and crispy.
7. Serve hot, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

Tip: For extra flavor, marinate the chicken thighs in olive oil, garlic, and herbs for a few hours before coating them with breadcrumbs.

For the crispiest crust, ensure that the chicken skin is dry before seasoning. Pat it with paper towels to remove excess moisture. If you prefer leaner meat, you can substitute chicken thighs with skinless breast, but adjust the cooking time accordingly.

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to maintain the crispiness of the chicken. You can also experiment by adding different herbs like rosemary or thyme to the crust for a personal touch!
