¼ teaspoon Crushed red pepper - For heat (optional)
1 teaspoon Fresh lemon zest - For extra freshness (optional)
2-3 Fresh thyme sprigs - Optional for aromatic flavor

Equipment

1 Heavy rimmed sheet pan (18x13 inch)
1 Large stainless mixing bowl (For mixing ingredients)
1 Digital meat thermometer (To check chicken temperature (165°F))
1 Microplane (For grating fresh parmesan)

Method

Pat chicken dry and halve potatoes evenly. Mince garlic and grate parmesan. Preheat the oven to 425°F.
Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat, add garlic and cook until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Whisk in parmesan, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Toss potatoes in half the garlic parmesan mixture and spread on a sheet pan. Coat chicken in the remaining mixture and arrange between the potatoes.
Roast at 425°F for 35 minutes, checking chicken internal temperature (165°F). For extra crispiness, broil for 2-3 minutes.
Let everything rest for 5 minutes, then garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
