I love an easy chicken dinner. Some of my favorites are instant pot Hawaiian chicken, one pan baked teriyaki chicken and pineapple, and creamy pesto chicken.

Can I bake chicken and potatoes at the same time?

Yes. It is best to use bone-in chicken when baking it next to chicken so it doesn’t get dried out. We use chicken drumsticks in this recipe but you could also use a combination of bone-in chicken thighs and drumsticks.
