Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 units lemon
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme
- 4 cloves garlic cloves
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 500 grams baby potatoes, halved
- 3 units carrots, cut into thick sticks
- 1 unit onion, quartered
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, juice, and zest of one lemon, finely chopped rosemary, finely chopped thyme, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
Place the chicken thighs in a large bowl and pour the herb and lemon mixture over them, ensuring they are well coated. Let them marinate for about 10 minutes.
On a large baking tray, spread the halved baby potatoes, carrot sticks, and quartered onion.
Drizzle a small amount of olive oil (about 1 tablespoon) over the vegetables and season them with salt and pepper.
Place the chicken thighs on top of the vegetables on the tray.
Cut the second lemon into thin slices and place them on top of each chicken thigh.
Roast in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is golden brown.
Ensure the vegetables are tender by piercing them with a fork.
Serve warm, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.
