Roasted Chicken Thighs and Root Vedge


Friday 4 November
Dora likes to watch us make dinner every night, so she takes her position at the center of things (the interior of the dishwasher is also fascinating to our Explorer).  She doesn't much care where she sits, but the computer we run the recipes on is nice and warm, and her ass just fits on the track pad.


While she supervised, we got out a pack of 6 chicken thighs, and did a surprising new recipe, one we could almost see over her.
Thighs were roasted for 25 minutes, taken out and put in the toaster oven at 350º while the vegetables (plus some parsnips) roasted for another 25 minutes.  And by the way, no need to pre-toss the vedge with oil and salt mixture; wait until the chicken comes out, and just toss it in the pan with rendered fat, no more oil needed, and then toss salt mixture on.
Though the recipe sounded oversimplified and bland, it turned out golden, crispy and addictive.  This will become a standard.
