Notes
- Make sure to pat your chicken thighs dry as any excess moisture can dilute the flavour of the seasoning.
- For the best flavor marinade your chicken for a couple of hours and even overnight.
- If you prefer boneless thighs, these will need about 7-10 minutes less cooking time (which means you will have to cut your veggies smaller).
- As an extra step you can broil the chicken thighs for 3-5 minutes after cooking to crisp them up.
- For easier clean up, line the baking tray with foil. Then you just thrown that away for an easier clean up.
- Vary the veg - you can add other veggies like regular potatoes, rutabaga, zucchini etc.
- Add sweetness - a little honey or maple syrup can add some sweetness and caramelisation.
- Add other spices - you try using cumin, coriander or curry for example
- Add heat - red chili flakes, cayenne pepper, sriracha sauce can all add a little heat.
- Make chicken thighs with lemon - Simple swap both clementines for one sliced lemon. You may need to add a little honey to counteract the sharpness of the lemon.
