Lemon Scented Crispy Chicken Thighs With Potatoes And Baby Carrots Recipes

LEMON-SCENTED CRISPY CHICKEN THIGHS, POTATOES & BABY CARROTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Place the cubed baguette on a sheet tray and bake 10 minutes to dry out. Reserve.
• Add the potatoes to a pot of simmering water and simmer until you just take the bite off, 10 minutes (we will cook these again in the skillet). Remove and reserve.
• Turn up the oven temperature to 425 degrees F.
• Heat a 14-inch heavy-bottomed skillet on high and coat with canola oil. Sprinkle the chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Sear the chicken skin-side down, working in batches if needed, until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Flip and cook another 2 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet, reserving all of the fat in the pan.
• Add the onions, sprinkle with salt and sweat until translucent and softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute. Add the baguette cubes, reserved potatoes and carrots, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add the lemon wedges and lemon thyme. Toss all the ingredients in the fat with an additional glug of oil if needed. Arrange the thighs on top and place in the oven until the thighs reach 160 degrees F, about 15 minutes.
• Garnish with parsley and serve.

LEMON-GARLIC CHICKEN THIGHS WITH POTATOES AND CARROTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Put the potatoes and carrots in a medium pot, cover with 1 inch of water and season with salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then immediately drain and set aside.
• Meanwhile, sprinkle the chicken with salt and black pepper. Melt the butter in a Food Network™ 13-in. Pre-Seasoned Cast-Iron Skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken skin-side down and the garlic cut-side down. Cook until both are golden brown, about 6 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate.
• Add the potatoes, carrots and lemon to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes start to brown, about 6 minutes. Sprinkle with the red pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon salt and some pepper. Put the chicken on top of the vegetables skin-side up and roast in the oven until the chicken registers 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer and the potatoes are golden, about 20 minutes. Sprinkle with the parsley before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper on all sides.
• Heat olive oil in a roasting pan set over two burners at medium-high heat. Sear chicken skin-side down in the hot oil for 5 to 7 minutes. Turn chicken thighs and add potatoes. Mix potatoes with oil. Add lemon slices and garlic cloves and toss everything together so potatoes and garlic are well-coated in olive oil.
• Transfer chicken to the oven and cook until chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and stir in the parsley before serving.

• Add potatoes, cut side down, and cook over medium-high heat until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Add carrots and onions and cook until onions are soft and translucent, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in 3/4 cup chicken broth, scraping up all the browned bits.
• Dissolve corn starch in 1/4 cup chicken broth and pour into the skillet. Stir until well combined.
• Place chicken thighs over vegetables, cover, and cook until carrots are tender and chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 25 to 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
