Oven-baked Rosemary Chicken and Potatoes

I put a good amount of the new organize dry spices and herbs I recently purchased to good use for this classic and easy meal.  I cut along the bone on the thighs so the chicken would cook quicker.  Seasoned with thyme, oregano, salt, black pepper, and cayenne.  I gave them a quick hit in a non-stick pan, a few minutes on each side, which crisped up the skin, then oven baked.  Sure, it’s the fattiest part, but also the tastiest.  When I start popping pork rinds like candy, I’ll hear you out.

I cut the potatoes in small, similar sized bits, and seasoned with salt, pepper, parsley, and thyme.  Tossing them into the same tray the chicken went into, they cooked quickly with a firm outer shell, and smooth inside.  In the fridge, I had some leftover side veggies from a previous dinner out.  Portobello mushrooms, carrots, and string beans with a light butter sauce.

Thighs and other dark meat chicken will normally come out juicy, but wh not give you a closer look.
