Ingredient Spotlight

Bone-In, Skin-On Chicken Thighs
Dark meat stays juicy and flavorful, and the skin crisps beautifully in the oven.

Yukon Gold Potatoes
Their creamy texture and golden color hold up perfectly to roasting and soak up all that barbecue flavor.

BBQ Sauce
Choose your favorite—sweet and tangy or smoky and bold. Homemade or store-bought, both work great.

Olive Oil, Salt, Pepper, Garlic Powder, and Paprika
Just a few pantry staples give the potatoes a deliciously seasoned crust and complement the BBQ sauce.

BBQ Chicken Thighs & Potatoes Recipe

Ingredients (Serves 4)

• 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (pasture-raised preferred)

• 1½ lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into 1½-inch chunks

• 1½ cups BBQ sauce (plus extra for serving)

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 1½ teaspoons sea salt

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

• ½ teaspoon paprika

• Fresh parsley or green onions, chopped (optional garnish)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven
   Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.

2. Season the Potatoes
   In a bowl, toss the potato chunks with olive oil, salt, garlic powder, and paprika. Spread them evenly across the baking sheet.

3. Prepare the Chicken
   Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels (this helps the skin crisp). Season lightly with salt and pepper. Arrange them skin-side up over the potatoes.

4. Roast
   Place the pan in the oven and roast for 25 minutes.

5. Glaze the Chicken
   Remove the pan and generously brush each thigh with BBQ sauce. Return to oven and roast another 20–25 minutes, until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temp 175°F) and the potatoes are golden and crisp around the edges.

6. Caramelize (Optional)
   For extra sticky skin, turn on the broiler for 2–3 minutes at the end—but keep an eye on it!

7. Serve
   Let rest for 5 minutes. Drizzle with more BBQ sauce if desired and garnish with chopped parsley or green onion.

Pro Tips & Swaps

• Want it spicier? Add cayenne or use a hot BBQ sauce.

• Prefer boneless thighs? Reduce cook time by 5–8 minutes.

• Add more veg: Toss in bell peppers, red onions, or zucchini halfway through roasting.

• Make it crispy: Don’t overcrowd the pan—spread everything in a single layer.

Serving Ideas

• Serve with a farm-fresh salad or coleslaw for a full meal.

• Pair with cornbread or grilled bread to mop up the juices.

• Chop leftovers and stuff them into tacos or wraps with slaw and more BBQ sauce.
