Ingredients
- 4 chicken thighs
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
- 4 potatoes, diced
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease with cooking spray.
- Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This helps achieve crispy skin during roasting.
- Season the chicken thighs generously with salt and pepper on both sides, ensuring even coverage.
- Dice the potatoes into uniform 1-inch cubes to ensure even cooking. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
- Drizzle olive oil over the potatoes, then sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Toss thoroughly to coat each potato piece.
- Arrange the seasoned potatoes on one side of the prepared baking sheet, spreading them in a single layer.
- Place the seasoned chicken thighs on the other side of the baking sheet, leaving space between each piece.
- Brush each chicken thigh generously with BBQ sauce, ensuring complete coverage.
- Roast in the preheated oven for approximately 45-55 minutes, or until chicken internal temperature reaches 165°F and potatoes are golden and crisp.
- Halfway through cooking, baste the chicken again with additional BBQ sauce for extra flavor and moisture.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 5-10 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.
- Garnish with fresh chopped parsley or green onions if desired, and serve hot.
