A quick and easy sheet pan chicken dinner featuring crispy skin chicken thighs and perfectly roasted vegetables, ideal for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4–6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (for chicken)
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (for vegetables)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano or Italian seasoning
  • Salt to taste (kosher salt recommended)
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 pound baby potatoes, halved (Yukon gold or red potatoes)
  • 3–4 carrots, cut into sticks
  • 1/2 pound green beans or asparagus, trimmed
  • Fresh lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Pat chicken thighs completely dry with paper towels to ensure crispy skin.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the chicken with 2 tablespoons olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  4. In another bowl, toss the halved potatoes and carrots with 1 tablespoon olive oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper until coated.
  5. Arrange the potatoes and carrots on one side of a large rimmed sheet pan in a single layer, leaving space for the chicken.
  6. Place the chicken thighs skin-side up on the other side of the pan, spacing them apart to allow air circulation for crispiness.
  7. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes.
  8. After 20 minutes, toss the green beans or asparagus lightly in olive oil and spread them around the chicken and potatoes on the pan.
  9. Return the pan to the oven and roast for another 10-15 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the skin is golden brown and crispy.
  10. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes.
  11. Squeeze fresh lemon over the chicken and veggies before serving.

Notes

Patting the chicken dry is essential for crispy skin. Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent steaming. If vegetables brown too quickly, tent loosely with foil. Parboiling potatoes for 5 minutes can reduce cooking time but is optional. Reheat leftovers in the oven to maintain crispiness; avoid microwaving.
