# How-To Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
02 - In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper.
03 - Add chicken thighs to the bowl and toss to coat thoroughly. Remove and set aside.
04 - Add radishes, potatoes, and red onion to the remaining marinade and toss well to coat.
05 - Spread vegetables evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Nestle chicken thighs skin side up among the vegetables.
06 - Roast for 30 to 35 minutes, or until chicken is golden and cooked through with an internal temperature of 165°F, and vegetables are tender.
07 - Remove from oven. Drizzle everything with lemon juice and sprinkle with lemon zest and chopped parsley if desired.
08 - Serve hot, spooning pan juices over the chicken and vegetables.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The radishes lose all their harshness and become these incredible sweet, tender bites that everyone mistakes for turnips
  • Clean up is practically nonexistent since everything happens on one pan, leaving you more time to enjoy your evening
02 -
  • I once crowded the pan too tightly and ended up with steamed instead of roasted vegetables, so give everything room to breathe
  • The chicken skin needs to face up to get crispy, and resist the urge to flip it halfway through
03 -
  • Use parchment paper instead of foil to prevent any acidic ingredients from reacting with metal
  • If your chicken thighs vary wildly in size, arrange the smaller ones toward the center where the heat is gentler
