Cast Iron Chicken Thighs with Roasted Garlic Potatoes Juicy, crispy-skinned chicken thighs cooked to perfection in a cast iron skillet, paired with golden roasted garlic potatoes. This one-skillet dish is full of flavor and perfect for a hearty, no-fuss weeknight dinner. Ingredients: • 1.25 lb bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 3–4 thighs) • 1 lb mini potatoes, halved if large • 3 tbsp olive oil • 3 cloves garlic, minced • 1 tsp salt (adjust to taste) • ½ tsp black pepper • 1 tsp smoked paprika • ½ tsp fresh thyme sprigs • ½ tsp dried oregano • 2 tbsp unsalted butter • Lemon juice (optional) For the Sauce: • 2 tbsp unsalted butter • 1 tbsp olive oil • 2 garlic cloves, minced • Pinch of salt • 1/4 tsp black pepper • 1/2 tsp fresh thyme • 1/2 tsp fresh rosemary • 1 tbsp soy sauce • 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce • 2 tbsp honey • 1 tsp Dijon mustard • 1/2 tsp chili flakes • 3–5 tbsp water Instructions: 1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). 2. Season the chicken: Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel. Rub with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, thyme, and oregano. 3. Prepare the potatoes: Toss the mini potatoes with 2 tbsp olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. 4. Sear the chicken: Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Place the chicken thighs skin-side down and sear for about 4–5 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy. Remove from the skillet and set aside. 5. Sauté the potatoes: In the same skillet, add the potatoes and stir for 2 minutes to soak up the flavor. 6. Bake: Place the chicken thighs skin-side up on top of the potatoes. Dot the butter in small pieces around the skillet. Transfer to the oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 175°F (80°C). 7. Make the sauce: While the chicken bakes, melt butter and olive oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 10–20 seconds. Stir in soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, thyme, rosemary, and chili flakes. Add water to adjust the consistency. Simmer for 1–2 minutes, then set aside. 8. Finish & Serve: Squeeze lemon juice over the chicken if desired. Drizzle with the sauce or serve it on the side for dipping. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
