Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 small bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 3 pounds)
2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
1 pound asparagus, trimmed
1 pound baby new potatoes, halved if larger than 1/2"
1 bunch radishes (about 1/2 pound), halved
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons vegetable oil, divided
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 tablespoon anchovy paste, or 6 fillets, finely chopped
1/2 cup (1 stick) cold butter, cut into 1-tablespoon pieces, divided
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley, plus more for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450°F. Using kitchen shears, remove bones from chicken thighs, keeping skin and flesh intact; discard bones. Season chicken all over with 1 tsp. salt and 1/2 tsp. pepper.
  • Toss asparagus, potatoes, radishes, 2 Tbsp. oil, and remaining 1 tsp. salt and 1/2 tsp. pepper in a large bowl. Transfer everything but the asparagus to a rimmed baking sheet and roast 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, grease another rimmed baking sheet with 1 tsp. oil. Heat remaining 1 tsp. oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Working in batches, sear chicken skin side down until skin is crisp and golden brown, 5-7 minutes. Transfer skin side up to prepared sheet. After all chicken is seared (reserve fat in skillet), transfer baking sheet to oven and roast until chicken is cooked though, 8-10 minutes.
  • When you open oven to roast chicken, remove baking sheet with vegetables, arrange asparagus over potatoes and radishes, then continue to roast until asparagus is crisp-tender and potatoes and radishes are well browned and tender, 8-10 minutes more (it should take the same amount of time to finish as the chicken).
  • Meanwhile, carefully pour off excess fat from reserved skillet, leaving browned bits on the bottom. Add garlic, anchovy paste, and 1 Tbsp. butter to skillet and cook over medium heat until garlic is softened and fragrant, about 1 minute. Add wine, scraping up browned bits with a spatula or wooden spoon, and continue to cook, stirring, until reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Remove pan from heat and stir in lemon juice. Add remaining butter one piece at a time, swirling and stirring after each addition to fully emulsify sauce. Stir in 1 Tbsp. parsley.
  • Transfer chicken and vegetables to a platter, then pour sauce over. Top with more parsley before serving.

I'm allergic to gluten, so I used gluten-free flour in the breading. It worked perfectly and the chicken was still crispy and delicious.

I'm not a fan of the crispy skin, so I baked the chicken thighs instead of frying them. They were still very flavorful and juicy.

This recipe is a great base for experimentation. I tried it with different vegetables and even added a lemon-herb sauce. It was delicious every time.
