Method
 

How to Make Garlic Butter Chicken Thighs with Vegetables
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F while you prep.
  2. In a small saucepan, melt unsalted butter over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it turns foamy and golden, about 2 minutes.
  3. Stir in minced garlic and fresh thyme, cooking until fragrant and lightly golden, about 1 minute. Remove from heat.
  4. Pat chicken thighs dry; season all over with salt and black pepper to taste.
  5. In a large bowl, toss baby potatoes, carrots, green beans, and red onion with half the garlic butter sauce until evenly coated.
  6. Arrange seasoned chicken thighs skin-side up on a rimmed baking sheet. Nestle the coated vegetables around the chicken.
  7. Roast in preheated 400°F oven for 30–35 minutes, until chicken skin is crisp and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  8. Let the chicken rest on the pan for 5 minutes to lock in juices. Sprinkle chopped parsley over chicken and veggies.
