Ingredients
Scale:
4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
4 medium potatoes, cut into wedges
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 onion, sliced
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Additional olive oil for drizzling
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to create the marinade. Add the chicken thighs, ensuring they are well-coated. Allow them to marinate for at least 15 minutes.
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the vegetables. Toss the potato wedges, sliced bell pepper, and onion with dried thyme, a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Arrange the marinated chicken thighs in a large oven-safe skillet or roasting pan. Surround them with the seasoned vegetables and potatoes.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the potatoes are golden brown.
Once cooked, let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving.
