❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Roasted Chicken and Potatoes
1. Can I use chicken breasts instead of thighs?
Yes you can use boneless skinless chicken breasts but they will cook faster. Check them at 25 minutes and remove them when they reach 165 degrees F. The potatoes may need extra time so you can take the chicken out and let the potatoes finish roasting.
2. How do I get the potatoes extra crispy?
Make sure the potatoes are cut into even pieces and spread in a single layer on the pan. Do not overcrowd the baking sheet. You can also toss the potatoes in a little extra oil and roast them cut side down for better browning.
3. Can I prepare this dish ahead of time?
You can season the chicken and cut the potatoes up to a day in advance and keep them in the fridge. When you are ready to cook just spread them on the baking sheet and roast. This is great for busy nights.
4. What herbs work well in this recipe?
Rosemary and thyme are classic but you can use oregano, sage, or a poultry seasoning blend. Fresh herbs are even better if you have them. Use about 1 tablespoon of fresh chopped herbs instead of dried.
5. How do I store leftovers?
Store leftover chicken and potatoes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350 degree F oven for about 10 minutes to get the skin crispy again. You can also reheat in the microwave but the skin will be soft.
