Lemon Chicken with Spring Potatoes

One tray: crisp chicken thighs, small potatoes and asparagus added at the end so it stays green.

Serves 4

Method

  1. Step 1: Heat the oven to 425°F. Halve the potatoes and toss them on a large tray with half the oil, a third of the salt and the thyme leaves.
  2. Step 2: Rub the chicken with the rest of the oil, salt, pepper and the crushed garlic. Nestle it skin-side up among the potatoes and add lemon halves cut-side down.
  3. Step 3: Roast for 35 minutes, until the skin is deep golden and the potatoes are tender.
  4. Step 4: Add the trimmed asparagus to the tray and roast 8 minutes more. Squeeze the roasted lemon over everything.
