Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Peel and finely chop the 2 garlic cloves.
- Slice the onion into thin wedges.
- Peel and cut the carrots into bite-sized pieces.
- Slice the celery stalk into similar-sized pieces.
- Peel and cut the potatoes into small chunks.
- Place the 12 chicken thighs in a large bowl.
- 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.
- Toss to coat the chicken evenly with the herbs and seasoning.
- On a large baking tray, spread out the onion wedges, carrot pieces, celery slices, and potato chunks.
- 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.
- Serve the chicken thighs with the roasted vegetables on the side.
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.
