Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Line a large baking sheet or roasting pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
- Rinse and dry the potatoes thoroughly.
- Cut the potatoes into 1-inch cubes ensuring they are uniform in size for even cooking.

- Spread the potatoes and onions out into an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
- Place the seasoned chicken thighs on top of the potatoes and onions on the baking sheet.
- Ensure the chicken thighs are spaced out evenly so they roast rather than steam.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
- Roast for about 35-40 minutes or until the chicken thighs are cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C) and the potatoes are golden brown and crispy.

- Once the chicken thighs are cooked through and the potatoes are crispy, remove the baking sheet from the oven.
- Drizzle the warm chicken gravy over the chicken and potatoes, or serve it on the side for dipping.
- Optionally, garnish with freshly chopped parsley or a light sprinkle of extra paprika for color.
