Chef's Note
For the juiciest chicken thighs, let them come to room temperature for 15-20 minutes before roasting. Also, don't skip patting them dry - this ensures crispy skin. The vegetables on the bottom will absorb all the delicious chicken drippings, creating an incredibly flavorful side.

Ingredients
4 pieces bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
4 sprigs fresh thyme
4 cloves garlic
1 whole lemon
8 ounces baby potatoes
2 medium carrots
1 medium zucchini
1 medium red bell pepper
1 small red onion
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
1 teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 cup white wine
1/4 cup chicken broth
Instructions
- 1
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- 2
Pat the 4 chicken thighs dry with paper towels and place in a medium bowl.
- 3
In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon honey, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano.
- 4
Pour the marinade over the chicken thighs and toss to coat evenly. Let marinate while preparing the vegetables.
- 5
Cut the baby potatoes in half, peel and slice the 2 carrots into 1/2-inch pieces, cut the zucchini into 1-inch chunks, dice the red bell pepper into 1-inch pieces, and slice the red onion into wedges.
- 6
Mince 2 cloves of garlic and strip the leaves from 1 sprig of rosemary and 2 sprigs of thyme, finely chopping them.
- 7
In a large bowl, toss the prepared vegetables with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, minced garlic, chopped herbs, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- 8
Spread the vegetables in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet.
- 9
Slice half of the lemon into thin rounds and squeeze the juice from the other half.
- 10
Place the marinated chicken thighs on top of the vegetables, skin side up. Tuck the lemon slices, 2 whole garlic cloves, 1 sprig of rosemary, and 2 sprigs of thyme around the chicken and vegetables.
- 11
Combine 1/4 cup white wine and 1/4 cup chicken broth, then pour around (not over) the chicken to keep the skin crispy.
- 12
Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the skin is golden and crispy.
- 13
If needed, broil for the last 2-3 minutes to get extra crispy skin.
- 14
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
- 15
Drizzle with the pan juices and serve the chicken thighs with the roasted vegetables.
