Print Recipe

Jamie Oliver’s chicken thighs with potatoes and tomatoes is a traybake dish where seasoned chicken thighs are roasted with potatoes and tomatoes until everything is golden, tender, and infused with flavor.

Ingredients

Scale

    • 6–8 chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on preferred)

    • 500g potatoes (cut into chunks)

    • 250g cherry tomatoes

    • 2–3 tablespoons olive oil

    • 3 cloves garlic (crushed)

    • Fresh herbs (rosemary or thyme)

    • Salt and black pepper (to taste)

Optional additions:

    • Lemon wedges

    • Red onion slices

    • Paprika or chili flakes

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven Properly

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). A hot oven is essential to achieve crispy chicken skin and well-roasted potatoes.

Step 2: Prepare the Potatoes First

Place the potato chunks in a large baking tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss well. Spread them out in a single layer to ensure even roasting.

Step 3: Start Roasting the Potatoes

Place the tray in the oven and roast the potatoes for 15–20 minutes before adding the chicken. This gives them a head start and helps them become crisp.

Step 4: Prepare the Chicken

Season the chicken thighs with salt, pepper, garlic, and herbs. Coat lightly with olive oil for better browning.

Step 5: Add Chicken and Tomatoes

Remove the tray from the oven and add the chicken thighs on top of the potatoes. Scatter cherry tomatoes around the tray.

Step 6: Roast Until Golden and Cooked Through

Return the tray to the oven and roast for 30–35 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and golden, and the potatoes are crisp.

Step 7: Finish and Serve

Optional: squeeze fresh lemon juice over the dish before serving for brightness. Let it rest for a few minutes, then serve hot.
