Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 12 ounces small potatoes (quartered)
  • 8 ounces sliced mushrooms
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 0.5 teaspoon sweet paprika
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
  • 6 skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs
  • 4 tablespoons butter (softened)
  • 5 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 small lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
  • lemon slices (for garnish)
  • chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat oven to 425˚F (220˚C).
  2. Transfer the quartered potatoes and sliced mushrooms to a 13x9 inch baking dish.
  3. Add olive oil to the potatoes and mushrooms, then season with paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly and set aside.
  4. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season them with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  5. In a small mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, lemon zest, dried parsley, dried oregano, and dried thyme. Mash with a fork until thoroughly combined.
  6. Rub the butter mixture evenly all over the chicken thighs.
  7. Place the seasoned chicken thighs over the potatoes and mushrooms in the baking dish.
  8. Bake, uncovered, for 35 to 37 minutes, or until the chicken's internal temperature registers 165˚F (74˚C).
  9. To crisp up the chicken skin, broil on HIGH for 2 to 3 minutes toward the end of the cooking process, watching carefully to prevent burning.
  10. Remove the baking dish from the oven.
  11. Garnish with fresh lemon slices and chopped fresh parsley before serving.
