Zesty Italian Herb-Roasted Chicken with Garlic Parmesan Potatoes

Ingredients

• 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
• 2 TBS olive oil
• 1 TBS Salted Perfection Abilene Select Blend
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp dried basil
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1 lb baby Yukon gold potatoes, halved
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 TBS chopped fresh parsley
• 1 lemon, zest only

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Grab a large rimmed baking sheet or roasting pan – you want room for those spuds and thighs to get happy.
2. Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Rub olive oil all over the chicken, then sprinkle Salted Perfection Abilene Select Blend, oregano, basil, garlic powder, and black pepper evenly. Make sure every nook and cranny gets some love.
3. Toss halved potatoes with minced garlic, 1 TBS olive oil, Salted Perfection Abilene Select Blend (a pinch), and Parmesan until well coated. Spread potatoes out on the baking sheet in a single layer.
4. Nestle the chicken thighs skin-side up among the potatoes. This way, the chicken drippings flavor the spuds—boom, flavor jackpot.
5. Roast in the oven for 35-40 minutes until chicken skin is crispy and an internal temp of 165°F (74°C) is reached, potatoes are golden and tender.
6. Remove from oven, sprinkle lemon zest and fresh parsley over everything. Let it rest 5 minutes before serving to let those juices settle.
7. Serve it hot, plate it like a boss, and remember: good food is like a wiseguy’s word – you gotta respect it.
