A quick and easy sheet pan dinner featuring juicy BBQ chicken thighs roasted alongside crispy, golden potatoes. Perfect for busy weeknights and minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 1.5 pounds / 700g)
  • 1.5 pounds (700g) baby Yukon gold or red potatoes, halved
  • ¾ cup (180ml) BBQ sauce of your choice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, ½ teaspoon onion powder, and salt and pepper to taste until evenly coated.
  3. Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on a sheet pan, leaving space between pieces.
  4. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Brush each thigh generously with BBQ sauce, including under the skin if possible.
  5. Nestle the chicken pieces skin-side up among the potatoes on the sheet pan, leaving room between each piece.
  6. Roast in the oven for 25 minutes.
  7. After 25 minutes, use tongs to turn the potatoes for even browning and brush the chicken again with more BBQ sauce.
  8. Return the sheet pan to the oven and roast for another 15-20 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the potatoes are tender and golden.
  9. Remove from oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes to lock in juices.
  10. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the chicken and potatoes before serving.

Notes

Pat chicken dry before applying BBQ sauce to ensure crispy skin. Turn potatoes halfway through cooking for even browning. Baste chicken with BBQ sauce midway to avoid burning sugar in the sauce. Rest chicken 5 minutes before serving. For crispier skin, broil 1-2 minutes at the end, watching carefully.
