Print Recipe

Easy and flavorful oven-baked chicken thighs with a smoky paprika rub, served with roasted vegetables.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 2 tablespoons smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pound baby potatoes
  • 2 carrots
  • 2 red bell peppers
  • 1 onion

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) with the rack in the center.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the chicken thighs with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Prepare your vegetables: halve the baby potatoes, slice the carrots, and cut the red bell peppers and onion into bite-sized pieces.
  4. Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet.
  5. Nestle the seasoned chicken thighs, skin-side up, among the vegetables on the baking sheet.
  6. Roast for 35–40 minutes, or until the chicken skin is golden brown and crispy, and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh registers 165°F (74°C).
  7. Let the chicken and vegetables rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For added freshness and color, sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.
