ROASTED CHICKEN THIGHS WITH WINTER SQUASH
Roasted chicken thighs can be the juicy, meaty center of many weeknight meals. Add delicata squash, quickly tossed in a maple syrup-butter glaze, along with slices of lemon and sage, and you have a something more unusual, an interplay of flavors that don't generally meet on the same sheet pan. This recipe is a little too fussy to count as a fast weeknight dish, but there is nothing difficult about any of the steps. And it's a fine introduction to delicata squash, if you haven't cooked with them yet. Unlike many other winter squash varieties, they have a thin skin and don't need to be peeled (just cut them in half and remove the seeds), making them as easy to prepare as they are sweet.
