Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go

  1. Preheat the oven

    Turn your oven on to 200 °C, convection if you have it, and set the rack in the middle.

  2. Cut the potatoes

    Peel the 420 g of potatoes and cut them into cubes of about 2 cm so they cook at the same speed.

  3. Season the potatoes

    In the mixing bowl, toss the cubes with 1 tbsp of olive oil, the thyme and half the salt and pepper. Spread them on the baking sheet, leaving room in the middle for the chicken.

  4. Prep the thighs

    Brush the 4 thighs with the 2nd tbsp of olive oil, season with the rest of the salt and pepper, then lay them skin side up in the middle of the sheet.

    Tip · For crispy skin, dry the thighs well with paper towels before brushing them with oil.

  5. Roast

    Roast the sheet 20 min at 200 °C, then flip the potatoes with the wooden spoon without touching the thighs.

  6. Add the green beans

    Pull out the sheet and scatter the 160 g of frozen green beans in the open spots, straight from frozen. Back into the oven.

  7. Finish cooking

    Cook another 20 min at 200 °C. The chicken is done when the juices run clear, it hits 74 °C inside and the skin is golden.

    Tip · Poke the thigh at its thickest point near the bone: if the juices are pink, give it 5 to 10 more min in the oven.

  8. Rest and serve

    Take out the sheet and let the thighs rest 5 min before serving with the potatoes and green beans.
