Pat chicken thighs completely dry with paper towels. Rub with remaining olive oil and season very generously with salt and pepper on all sides. Nestle the chicken skin-side up on top of the potatoes.

Tuck lemon slices, rosemary, and thyme around the chicken. The lemon and herbs perfume the whole tray as it roasts.

Roast at 425°F for 45–50 minutes until the chicken skin is deeply golden and crispy, the internal temp reads 175°F (ideal for thighs), and the potatoes are golden and tender. The chicken fat drips down and roasts the potatoes in the most flavorful way possible. Let rest 5 minutes before serving — squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins over the dish.
