Ingredients

• 1 lb chicken thighs (or breast), bone-in and skin-on for extra flavor
• 2 cups potatoes, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 large onion, sliced
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons olive oil (or cooking oil of your choice)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Optional: fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme for extra flavor

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare Potatoes: In a bowl, toss the diced potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, half of the minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet or in a baking dish.
3. Season Chicken: In a bowl, combine the chicken thighs with the remaining garlic, soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Make sure the chicken is well-coated.
4. Combine Ingredients: Place the seasoned chicken on top of the potatoes in the baking dish. If you’re using fresh herbs, sprinkle them over the chicken and potatoes for added flavor.
5. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 35-45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F) and the potatoes are golden and crispy, tossing potatoes halfway through.
6. Serve: Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy the chicken and potatoes hot on plates.
