Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go

  1. Preheat the oven

    Turn the oven on to 200 °C (gas mark 6-7). Let it heat for 10 min before the dish goes in.

  2. Peel the vegetables

    Peel the carrots and potatoes. Cut them into pieces of about 2 cm. Rinse them under cold water.

    Tip · To save time, peel and cut the vegetables while the oven heats up.

  3. Season the chicken

    In a bowl, toss the chicken thighs with the oil, thyme, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Rub it all over.

  4. Fill the dish

    In the baking dish, spread the carrots and potatoes in a single layer. Lay the chicken thighs on top, skin side up.

  5. Bake

    Put the dish in the preheated oven. Bake for 40 min without opening the door.

    Tip · If you want crispier chicken, put it under the broiler for 2 min at the end.

  6. Check for doneness

    At the end, poke a potato with the tip of a knife: it should slide in easily. If not, bake 5 to 10 min longer.

And there you go, it's readyCheck off every step to celebrate.
