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 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound small multicolored potatoes, sliced 1/4 inch thick
1 pound multicolored carrots, sliced 1/4 inch thick
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 2 pounds)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 head garlic, split horizontally
1 small lemon, halved crosswise and thinly sliced
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves

Steps:

  • Put the potatoes and carrots in a medium pot, cover with 1 inch of water and season with salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then immediately drain and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, sprinkle the chicken with salt and black pepper. Melt the butter in a Food Network™ 13-in. Pre-Seasoned Cast-Iron Skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken skin-side down and the garlic cut-side down. Cook until both are golden brown, about 6 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate.

Sprinkle with the red pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon salt and some pepper. Put the chicken on top of the vegetables skin-side up and roast in the oven until the chicken registers 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer and the potatoes are golden, about 20 minutes.

CRISPY CHICKEN THIGHS WITH CARAMELIZED LEMON RINDS



Crispy Chicken Thighs with Caramelized Lemon Rinds image

The next time you juice a lemon, don't toss the rinds! Instead, wrap them up and save them in the fridge, then make this easy chicken recipe. It works with zested lemon rinds, too. The rinds get cooked down with the chicken and maple syrup, resulting in sweet and tangy pan drippings designed for drizzling over everything.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

8 skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs (about 2 1/2 pounds)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon vegetable oil or other neutral oil
2 tablespoons maple syrup
Halved, juiced rinds of 2 lemons

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Pat the chicken thighs quite dry with paper towels. Sprinkle them on both sides with 2 teaspoons salt and 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper.
  • Heat a large ovenproof skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium-high heat. Add the oil and heat until shimmering. Add the chicken thighs to the skillet skin-side down and nestle the lemon halves around them so the cut sides touch the skillet. Cook until the chicken skin is very golden brown, 12 to 14 minutes. (The lemon halves should char, but if they start completely blackening, lift them up and place them on top of the chicken as it cooks.)
  • Lift up each lemon half, brush the cut side with maple syrup and return to the skillet cut-side down. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast until the chicken is almost cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Flip the thighs so they are skin-side up, then continue roasting until no longer pink near the bone, another 5 minutes. Serve the chicken with the saucy pan drippings spooned over.

Tips:

  • Pat the chicken thighs dry before seasoning and cooking. This will help the skin crisp up.
  • Use a sharp knife to score the chicken thighs. This will help the marinade penetrate the meat and cook more evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the chicken thighs. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the chicken thighs over medium heat until the skin is golden brown and crispy. Then, reduce the heat to low and cook until the chicken is cooked through.
  • Roast the potatoes and carrots in a hot oven until they are tender and browned.
  • Serve the chicken thighs with the roasted potatoes and carrots, and a squeeze of lemon juice.

Conclusion:

This lemon-scented crispy chicken thighs recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is juicy and flavorful, the potatoes and carrots are tender and roasted, and the lemon-scented sauce is the perfect finishing touch. This recipe is sure to please everyone at the table.
