Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and move the rack to the middle position.
Grease a large, rimmed baking sheet or line it with foil for easy cleanup.
Cut the potatoes into quarters and place them on the baking sheet alongside the chicken thighs.
Drizzle olive oil and lemon juice over the chicken and potatoes. Use your hands to coat the ingredients evenly.
Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper over the chicken and potatoes. Toss everything together using your hands until well-coated.
Scatter the poultry herb mix (rosemary, sage, thyme) around the chicken and potatoes. You can place some of the herbs directly on top of the chicken and potatoes, while leaving other sprigs whole and scattered.
Roast in the oven for 30-40 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. The cooking time will vary depending on the size of your chicken thighs.
If desired, broil for a few minutes to crisp up the skin on the chicken and potatoes.
Remove from the oven, garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired, and serve immediately.

Notes

Different Potatoes: You can swap out yellow potatoes for red potatoes or baby potatoes for a different texture.
Chicken Breasts: Substitute chicken breasts, but be mindful of the cooking time as chicken breasts cook faster.
Veggies: Add other vegetables like carrots, onions, or bell peppers to the sheet pan to make the meal heartier.
Herb Substitutes: Use dried herbs or fresh herbs like parsley or basil for a different flavor.
