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.

pour marinade over chicken

 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!

    So am I correct that there is no special marinade separate from the ingredients in the post? It lists what sounds like should be the ingredients for the marinade but then also has “marinade” as an ingredient. Thanks!

      Hi Michelle – only one marinade. Ingredients listed on the second part of the recipe card. Hope that helps clarify! Thanks!

    What do you think a good side for this would be? Rice? But then I thought that’d be too much starch. A bean instead? It’s cooking now and smells really good!

      I think all you need is a veggie for a side since it already has potatoes. I’d do steamed broccoli or carrots!

    What ratio of olive oil to lemon juice do you use for the sauce? I’m new to making my own sauces and am not sure where to start. Approximately how much garlic and paprika? Thanks!!

    Is it possible to make this with a whole chicken? If so, what would need to be adjusted?

      Hi Kayleen – A whole chicken takes about 1.5 hours to cook. Your potatoes and sausage would be well overdone. Can’t recommend it since I have not tried it. You can always just cut up your chicken in quarters which would be fine!

      I have never frozen potatoes but I know the chicken and sausage would hold up well!

    Does it matter if the chicken is skinless? I prefer my chicken skins to crisp up.

      September 25, 2016 at 5:58 pm

      The recipe uses skin on chicken. Maybe I misunderstood the question…but regardless, skin on or off it will work! Hope you love it!

        Hi my question is do you cover the dish at any time and if so for how long. It looks like a great dish my family would love and with my time in the kitchen and heat I would like to get a idea, I have epilepsy so this is easy and perfect for me to make.

          Hi Margaret! No need to cover. Leaving it uncovered allows the chicken and potatoes to crisp up. Wishing you good health! Thank you for your note.

    You never fail me! Your recipes are simple, healthful and delicious! I made this tonight for my family and they loved it. My husband makes home-made sausage (I know, what a hobby!), so I used that, and as you said, even though it was raw when I put it all in the over, it was cooked perfectly after an hour. They were feeling pasta-y, so I didn’t use potatoes. I stirred the yummy sauce into some rotini when it was all done, placed the chicken and sausage on top … And I was a hero chef on a Thursday night!
    Thanks Kathi!
