A quick and easy sheet pan recipe featuring crispy bone-in, skin-on BBQ chicken thighs roasted alongside flavorful vegetables, perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) BBQ sauce (your favorite brand or homemade)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 zucchini, cut into half-moons
  • 1 red onion, quartered
  • 1 pound (450 g) baby potatoes, halved
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to ensure crispy skin.
  3. In a bowl, mix garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Rub this seasoning evenly over the chicken thighs.
  4. Brush each chicken thigh generously with BBQ sauce.
  5. In a large bowl, toss the sliced red bell pepper, zucchini, red onion, and halved baby potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  6. Spread the vegetables in a single layer on a rimmed sheet pan, leaving space for the chicken thighs.
  7. Place the chicken thighs skin-side up on the sheet pan without overcrowding.
  8. Roast in the oven for 35-40 minutes. Halfway through (around 20 minutes), flip the vegetables and baste the chicken with pan juices.
  9. Check that the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and that the skin is golden and crispy.
  10. Optional: Broil for 2-3 minutes for extra crispiness, watching closely to avoid burning.
  11. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

Pat chicken skin dry before seasoning to ensure crispiness. Brush BBQ sauce just before roasting to prevent burning. Toss veggies halfway through cooking for even roasting. Use a meat thermometer to check doneness. Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent steaming.
