Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 baguette, cubed
12 ounces small red new potatoes, halved
canola oil
8 bone-in chicken thighs, skin on
kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1 large yellow onion, sliced
6 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
12 ounces heirloom baby multi-colored carrots (or supermarket baby carrots, scrubbed and tops removed)
2 lemons, cut into wedges
1 small bunch fresh lemon thyme (or thyme sprigs)
fresh parsley leaves, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Place the cubed baguette on a sheet tray and bake 10 minutes to dry out. Reserve.
  • Add the potatoes to a pot of simmering water and simmer until you just take the bite off, 10 minutes (we will cook these again in the skillet). Remove and reserve.
  • Turn up the oven temperature to 425 degrees F.
  • Heat a 14-inch heavy-bottomed skillet on high and coat with canola oil. Sprinkle the chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Sear the chicken skin-side down, working in batches if needed, until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Flip and cook another 2 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet, reserving all of the fat in the pan.
  • Add the onions, sprinkle with salt and sweat until translucent and softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute. Add the baguette cubes, reserved potatoes and carrots, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add the lemon wedges and lemon thyme. Toss all the ingredients in the fat with an additional glug of oil if needed. Arrange the thighs on top and place in the oven until the thighs reach 160 degrees F, about 15 minutes.
  • Garnish with parsley and serve.

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound bone-in chicken thighs
1 ½ teaspoons paprika
1 ½ teaspoons salt, or more to taste

Tips

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
  • Season your chicken thighs generously. This will help them develop a delicious, flavorful crust.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you overcrowd the pan, the chicken thighs will not cook evenly and will end up steamed instead of crispy.
  • Cook the chicken thighs over medium heat. This will help them cook through without burning.
  • Flip the chicken thighs halfway through cooking. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Add the potatoes and baby carrots to the pan during the last 15 minutes of cooking. This will give them time to cook through without getting overcooked.
  • Serve the chicken thighs and vegetables immediately. They are best enjoyed hot out of the oven.
