Preparation
Wash the potatoes, peel them and cut them into pieces.

After deboning and skinning them, pound the thighs to flatten them as much as possible.
Brush them with extra virgin olive oil, then coat with breadcrumbs, flavored with aromatic herbs and garlic.
Line a large baking tray with baking paper. Place the thighs and potato pieces in it. Salt, pepper and drizzle with a little oil (1).
Bake in a fan oven at 375°F for about 20 minutes, then add the artichoke halves to the same tray (2).
Bake again and continue cooking for another 10 minutes, until the meat is cooked and the potatoes are golden brown.
Baked chicken thighs with potatoes and artichokes are ready, transfer them to a serving plate and serve hot… enjoy your meal!
Advice and Notes
Instead of thighs, you can use drumsticks, with or without skin.
If you have fresh artichokes, previously washed and cleaned, you can use them.
FAQ
Can I use an air fryer instead of the oven?
Sure, you can put everything in the basket (with baking paper if you prefer) and cook at 355°F for 20-25 minutes.
