This One Pan Roasted Chicken with Sausage and Potatoes is in the pan and in the oven in 10 minutes!  We use chicken thighs and drumsticks alongside sausage, potatoes and onions tossed together in an easy and big flavored marinade.

This is it guys…  your new  ‘feed the family before they eat all the Cheetos’ dinner.  If you make this once, you will make it again and again.  Change up the sausage, change the potatoes, spice it up or tone it down.  Any way you do it, this comes out perfect every time!

What you need to make this dish:

  • 8-10 bone in chicken pieces such as thighs and drumsticks or a cut up whole chicken
  • 1 pound small red or white potatoes
  • 1 pound Andouille Sausage.  (or any link sausage of your choice)  For a healthier chicken dinner consider chicken or turkey sausage.
  • yellow onion
  • olive oil
  • lemon juice
  • smoked paprika (or regular paprika if you prefer)
  • garlic
  • See below recipe card for full ingredients and instructions

How to make One Pan Roasted Chicken, Sausage and Potatoes –

Start with this super easy marinade.     No need for this to sit.   Just pour it on and bake!

easy marinade for chicken and sausage

Add your chicken, potatoes, some onion if you have it,  and sausage, to a regular old 9 x 13 baking dish.  That old baking dish never looked so good!

What kind of sausage should I use?

  • we used Andouille Sausage but the  sky is the limit on this.
  • cooked or uncooked, any sausage will work.  Pork, chicken or turkey.

 Once you pour on the marinade give it a good toss.  This helps give that rich red color from the paprika.  

In the oven it goes for about an hour.  Your dish is done when the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees.

(You hear me talk about this a lot.  We can not live without a meat thermometer!  Rachel and I both have this one from OXO.  You can see it  here.  Cheap and cheerful.  Lasts for years!  )

Do I have to used Smoked Paprika for this dish?

  • It may not be a pantry staple for you or you may not enjoy smokey flavor. We get it!  Simply swap out the smokey version for regular paprika or omit all together.  (but we kinda like the red color the paprika imparts into the dish).  It’s your chicken…do what you want!

We also love that this dish is Whole30 and Paleo (without potatoes).  It’s clean eating at it’s finest with the right kind of sausage!

Notes to make this Easy One Pan Roasted Chicken, Sausage and Potato Dinner!

  • We recommend  bone in chicken.    Bone in will ensure the potatoes and sausage get cooked up at the same time.   However if you prefer to go boneless, cut the potatoes in half and the sausage into 1 inch pieces.  Reduce the cooking time to 35 minutes.
  • Whole small potatoes work great.   If you cant find the baby whole potatoes, simply buy the larger red, white or yukon potatoes and cut into large 2 inch pieces.
  • For the marinade you can sub orange in lieu of lemon for a citrus flavor that I love.
  • Don’t have smoked paprika?  Just use regular but I do like the smoky flavor it imparts.

It’s really hard to mess this dish up.  Keep it simple and fresh and you are gonna love it!

Happy One Pot Meal!

    I love this recipe. I have made this probably ten times now. I use skinless boneless thighs and use 3/4 marinade on them for an hour. I will pour the rest on the veggies and sausage just before baking. Serve with bread. It’s so easy and so tasty!

    To the pan along with potatoes and onions

      Hi Phil – could be a couple things. Check the temp of your oven with an oven thermometer, we recently moved and ours was off 50 degrees! Your pan was too small? Just a thought. I make this often and have not had a problem. Thanks for the feedback!

    Hi Kathi!
    I only have 3 thighs (Skin on and bones) a pound of sausages and two pounds-ish of baby potatoes and a large red onion.
    I am vacillating on cook time and the delicious marinade. Do you think I could cook it the full hour, or would my chicken and sausage dry out? (Not that I couldn’t watch it carefully!) Your views?
    Thank you for being wonderful you!

      Hi Cheryl – My favorite tool is my meat thermometer! Chicken is cooked perfectly at 165 degrees But to answer your question I’d think 40 minutes should do it. Thanks for being even more wonderfuller 🙂
