How do you get chicken thigh skin crispy?
Pat the skin dry before cooking, season well, and roast at a high temperature uncovered so moisture evaporates and skin crisps against the pan.
Can I use chicken breasts instead of thighs?
Chicken breasts will dry out faster. If using them, reduce cooking time to 25–30 minutes and check internal temperature reaches 165°F.
What size should potatoes be cut?
Cut Yukon gold potatoes into uniform wedges about 1.5–2 inches thick so they cook at the same rate as the chicken.
How do I store leftovers?
Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven for 10–15 minutes or on the stovetop over medium heat.
Can I make this ahead?
Prep and season the chicken and potatoes the night before, cover, and refrigerate. Roast straight from cold, adding 5–10 minutes to cooking time.
