# 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 marinade bowl and toss to coat evenly. 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, sprinkle with lemon zest and chopped parsley if desired.
08 - Serve hot, spooning pan juices over the chicken and vegetables.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Everything cooks on one pan so cleanup is literally five minutes
  • The radishes transform into something completely unexpected and delicious
  • That lemon finish at the end makes the whole dish sing
02 -
  • Crowding the pan steams the vegetables instead of roasting them, so use two pans if needed
  • Letting the chicken rest for even five minutes before serving keeps it juicier
03 -
  • Pat the chicken skin dry before roasting for extra crispiness
  • Room temperature chicken cooks more evenly, so take it out 20 minutes before you start
