Golden, crispy herbed garlic butter chicken thighs roasted over a medley of caramelized root vegetables — a rustic, one-pan dinner full of warmth, depth, and bold flavor.

  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (plus more for garnish)
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

For the Roasted Vegetables:

  • 2 medium carrots, sliced
  • 2 parsnips, sliced
  • 1 small sweet potato, diced
  • 1 red onion, cut into wedges
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Pat chicken dry and season with salt, pepper, and paprika.
  2. In a small bowl, mix garlic, rosemary, thyme, and parsley.
  3. Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high. Add olive oil and place chicken thighs skin-side down. Sear 5–7 minutes until golden. Flip, add butter and herb mix, and baste chicken 3–4 minutes.
  4. Remove chicken temporarily. Toss vegetables with olive oil, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread in skillet.
  5. Place chicken thighs over the vegetables. Roast for 25–30 minutes or until cooked through (175°F inside).
  6. Broil for 2–3 minutes for extra crisp skin. Let rest 5 minutes. Garnish with parsley and serve warm.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, marinate chicken in garlic and herbs 2–3 hours ahead.
  • You can swap root vegetables with Brussels sprouts, potatoes, or squash.
  • To reheat, use oven at 350°F for 10–15 minutes. Avoid microwave to preserve crisp skin.
