Equipment Needed To Make Herb Marinated Chicken Thighs

• Medium or large bowl
• Sheet pan
• Whisk
• Gallon Size Baggie
• Parchment paper or a Silpat® baking mat
• Meat thermometer to test the internal temperature
• Airtight container for leftovers

Ingredients For Your Marinated Chicken Thighs with Roasted Potatoes Recipe 

• 1¼ lbs. boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 3 T. extra virgin olive oil, divided
• 3-4 garlic cloves, finely minced
• 2 t. ground cumin
• ¼ t. cayenne pepper
• 1 T. Italian seasoning, chopped
• 3 T. orange juice
• 1 T. orange zest
• Sea salt and black pepper, to taste
• 1 lb. tri-color fingerling potatoes
• Fresh parsley, for garnish

How To Make This Easy Chicken Thighs Recipe

Step 1: Whisk together the olive oil, garlic, cumin, cayenne pepper, Italian seasoning, orange juice, and orange zest in a medium or large bowl. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste, and set aside.

Step 2: Place the chicken thighs in a gallon-size baggie and pour half of the marinade on top. Seal bag tightly while removing any excess air. Turn bag several times to ensure the chicken is evenly coated and marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes or place in the refrigerator for one hour to overnight. Turn bag occasionally while marinating to evenly distribute flavors. Reserve unused portion of marinade for later use.

Step 3: To prepare, place top oven rack in center position and pre-heat oven temperature to 400°F. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat® baking mat and set aside.

Step 4: Remove chicken from marinade and place on prepared baking sheet and generously season with additional salt and black pepper, if desired. Discard bag and the remaining marinade inside. 

Step 5: Toss the potatoes in a large bowl with the reserved, unused marinade and season with salt and black pepper, to taste. Arrange the seasoned potatoes around the chicken thighs in a single layer without overcrowding.

Step 6: Place the baking sheet in the pre-heated oven to roast until the chicken is fully cooked through and the potatoes are fork-tender, approximately 25-30 minutes. Remove from oven and cool slightly before serving.

I recommend using a meat thermometer to make sure the internal temperature is 165 degrees Fahrenheit. This Weber meat thermometer is what I use. It is very inexpensive and available at Amazon.com.
