INGREDIENTS
2 pieces Chicken Thighs (skin-on, bone-in)
1 medium Carrot
1/2 cup Green Peas
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
2 sprigs Fresh Rosemary
2 sprigs Fresh Thyme
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Rub them with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Squeeze half the lemon over the thighs and tuck in a sprig each of rosemary and thyme on or under the skin.
Place the chicken thighs on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Roast in the oven for about 25-30 minutes or until the skin is crispy and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
While the chicken cooks, peel and cut the carrot into sticks. Toss the carrots with a pinch of salt, pepper, and a tiny drizzle of olive oil.
Spread the carrot sticks on another baking sheet and roast in the oven for about 20 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized, turning halfway if needed.
Simultaneously, blanch the green peas in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until bright green, then drain and season with a little salt, black pepper, and remaining lemon juice for a fresh touch.
Plate the chicken thighs alongside a serving of roasted carrots and bright peas. Garnish with a fresh sprinkle of chopped rosemary or thyme if desired, and serve warm.
