02 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
03 - 1 teaspoon kosher salt
04 - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
05 - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

# How To Make It:
01 - Preheat the oven to 425°F.
02 - In a large bowl, toss the potatoes, carrots, red onion, and broccoli with 1 tablespoon olive oil, half the salt, and half the herbs. Spread evenly on a large rimmed baking sheet.
03 - Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. In a separate bowl, rub chicken with remaining olive oil, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, garlic, and remaining herbs.
04 - Nestle chicken thighs, skin-side up, among the vegetables on the baking sheet.
05 - Roast for 40-45 minutes, or until the chicken skin is golden and crisp, juices run clear, and vegetables are tender. Internal temperature of chicken should reach 165°F.
06 - Optional: Broil for 2-3 minutes at the end for extra crispy skin.
07 - Rest for 5 minutes before serving with a squeeze of fresh lemon.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- The crispy chicken skin alone is worth the minimal effort it takes to throw everything on one pan
- Youll get that deeply satisfying comfort food feeling without standing over a stove for hours
02 -
- Crowding the pan is the fastest way to end up with soggy chicken and steamed vegetables instead of roasted ones
- Patting the chicken dry with paper towels is tedious but absolutely necessary for that crispy skin everyone loves
03 -
- Leaving space between ingredients is the difference between roasted and steamed, so grab a larger baking sheet if needed
- Room temperature chicken roasts more evenly, so let it sit out for 20 minutes before you start seasoning
