Description

This Sheet Pan Chicken Thighs recipe is an easy, one-pan meal with crispy, juicy chicken and perfectly roasted vegetables. It’s packed with flavor, requires minimal cleanup, and is perfect for busy weeknights.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp paprika (regular or smoked)
  • 1 tsp dried thyme or rosemary
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice (optional)
  • 2 cups chopped vegetables (potatoes, carrots, bell peppers, or Brussels sprouts)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Pat chicken dry with paper towels and place on the sheet pan.
  • Season the chicken by drizzling with olive oil and sprinkling salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and herbs. Rub to coat evenly.
  • Add vegetables around the chicken, tossing with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  • Bake for 35–45 minutes or until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) internally.
  • Broil (optional) for 2–3 minutes for extra crispy skin.
  • Let rest for 5 minutes, then serve warm.

Notes

  • Use boneless, skinless thighs for a quicker-cooking, leaner option.
  • For extra flavor, marinate the chicken for 30 minutes before baking.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge.
