Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces chicken thighs
  • 4 pieces carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 3 pieces potatoes, cut into chunks
  • 1 pieces onion, quartered
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons salt

  • Fresh to taste rosemary or thyme optional for added flavor

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  3. Add the chicken thighs and vegetables (carrots, potatoes, and onions) into the bowl. Toss everything together until well-coated.
  4. Transfer the chicken and vegetables to a large baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring the chicken skin is facing up for optimal crispiness.

Notes

Substitutions: You can swap out the vegetables based on seasonal availability or preference. Timing: Cut vegetables evenly for uniform cooking. Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent steaming.
