Crisp-tender chicken baked to absolute perfection with roasted carrots and potatoes - all cooked in a single pan!
Ingredients
  • 8 teaspoons brown sugar, divided
  • 8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 16 ounces baby red potatoes, halved
  • 16 ounces baby peeled carrots
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 (1-ounce) package Ranch Seasoning and Salad Dressing Mix
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
Instructions
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly oil a baking sheet or coat with nonstick spray.
  • Using your fingers, work the brown sugar, about 1 teaspoon per thigh, onto both sides of the chicken.
  • Place chicken, potatoes and carrots in a single layer onto the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with Ranch Seasoning and garlic; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Place into oven and roast until the chicken is completely cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, about 25-30 minutes.* Then broil for 2-3 minutes, or until caramelized and slightly charred.
  • Serve immediately, garnished with parsley, if desired.
