Notes
Cooking tips:
- Ensure the oven is preheated before adding the chicken to the oven. Bake on the middle shelf for best results.
- Use a Meat thermometer to check your chicken is cooked. Ensure the thickest part of the chicken thigh has reached an internal temperature of 74°C / 165°F.
- Don't overcrowd the tray - Give the ingredients space to roast rather than steam. Spread everything in a single layer.
- Use skinless chicken thighs for a healthier option.
- We use a whole head of garlic (around 10 cloves). If you love garlic, this will be plenty, however it can be scaled back to taste as required.
- Sweet or smoked paprika will both work fine for this recipe.
- Swap in veggies that love roasting - Potatoes, carrots, zucchini, or bell peppers all work well and make the dish even heartier.
