Sunny Roasted Chicken Thighs



It was a reasonably sunny day today, and for dinner I took my inspiration from Nigella Lawson, who is this incredible English chef that not only recommends fantastic short-cuts on classic techniques, but also spins her own distinction recipes from her experiences and travels. Today is an Italian roast chicken dish, inspired by her tastes and techniques.

I marinated chicken thighs in olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and Italian seasoning, before roasting in my deep-dish pizza pan (deeper than the half-sheet pans I usually use). I added fresh green onions and tbyme from the garden, and a scattering of yellow mini potatoes.

I thickened the leftover roasting juices with cornstarch slurry, and added a squeeze of fresh lemon juice before serving alongside green beans and corn casserole. 

Sunny flavours to match the lovely spring day!
