- Slice the celery stalk into similar-sized pieces.

- Add the finely chopped garlic, 1 tbsp capers, 1 tbsp fresh parsley, 1 tbsp rosemary, and 1 tbsp fresh thyme.
- Drizzle with a little olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

- Arrange the seasoned chicken thighs evenly on top of the vegetables.
- Drizzle the 1/4 cup chicken gravy evenly over the chicken and vegetables.
- Place the tray in the preheated oven.
- Bake for about 40-45 minutes, or until the chicken skin is golden brown and crispy, and the vegetables are tender. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (75°C).
- Once done, remove the tray from the oven.
- Let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

Tips:
- For an even richer flavor, marinate the chicken thighs in garlic and herbs for at least an hour before cooking.
- Ensure the vegetables are cut into similar sizes to promote even cooking.
- Cover the tray with aluminum foil for the first half of the baking time to keep the chicken moist, then uncover to allow the top to crisp up.
- Stir the vegetables occasionally during cooking to ensure they are evenly coated with the juices.
- You can add a splash of white wine or lemon juice for extra depth of flavor.
