Ingredients

• 6 pieces Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 whole Lemon, juiced and zested
• 1 whole Orange, juiced and zested
• 2 tablespoons Fresh thyme leaves
• 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 cups Baby potatoes, halved
• 1.5 cups Carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
• 1 whole Red onion, quartered
• 0.5 cup Chicken stock
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice and zest, orange juice and zest, thyme leaves, rosemary, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 2

Place the chicken thighs in a large resealable plastic bag or a bowl. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 6 hours for maximum flavor.

Step 3

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 4

In a large baking dish or sheet pan, combine the baby potatoes, carrots, and red onion. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss to coat.

Step 5

Arrange the marinated chicken thighs on top of the vegetables in the baking dish. Pour the chicken stock around the vegetables to keep them moist during roasting.

Step 6

Roast in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes, or until the chicken skin is golden and crispy, the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C), and the vegetables are tender.

Step 7

Remove the baking dish from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle chopped parsley on top for a fresh and vibrant finish.

Step 8

Serve the chicken hot alongside the roasted vegetables, and enjoy your Celebration Chicken!
