Heat the oven to 200C and cut the potatoes and carrots into rough 3cm chunks.
Toss the vegetables and onion wedges with half the oil and the dried herbs, then spread over a large tray.
Rub the chicken thighs with the remaining oil, season, and nestle them skin-side up among the vegetables.

Rest for 5 minutes, then serve straight from the tray.
