Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ tablespoon smoked paprika
  • ½ tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon thyme
  • ½ teaspoon parsley
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 6 Springer Mountain Farms chicken thighs
  • 1 lb small red potatoes cut in half
  • 12 oz green beans

Method
 

  1. Set your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare the chicken by washing and drying thoroughly.
  2. In a bowl, blend smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, thyme, and parsley to create the seasoning mix.
  3. Place the chicken, potatoes, and green beans in a large bowl along with olive oil and seasonings; use your hands to mix well ensuring everything is coated evenly.
  4. Spread the vegetables out evenly on a baking sheet in a single layer.
  5. Position a wire rack over the vegetables and arrange the chicken thighs on top with about an inch of space between each piece.
  6. Put the assembled pan in the oven and roast for 45 to 48 minutes until the chicken’s internal temperature hits 165 degrees.
  7. Transfer the chicken onto the baking sheet with the veggies and spoon some pan juices over the top before serving. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Make sure to rinse and dry the chicken before applying oil and spices so the seasoning sticks better. Use a bowl of water to rinse the chicken to reduce splashing and minimize bacterial spread. Always wash hands or wear food-safe gloves when handling raw chicken and seasonings. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat leftovers covered in the microwave in 1-minute increments until piping hot.
