Instructions
1. Preheat & Prep:
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or foil.
2. Prep the Potatoes:
Wash, peel (optional), and cube potatoes. Place on the prepared pan. Drizzle with olive oil and toss with salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and thyme.
3. Prep the Chicken:
Season chicken with salt, pepper, and remaining garlic powder. Drizzle with olive oil and rub to coat. Place on the pan with potatoes.
4. Make the Sauce:
In a small bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, and grated parmesan. Stir well.
5. Roast:
Drizzle sauce over chicken and potatoes. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until chicken reaches 165°F and potatoes are golden brown and crispy. Flip potatoes halfway through for even crispness.
6. Finish & Serve:
Sprinkle with extra parmesan and basil (if using). Garnish with parsley. Serve immediately!
