Ginger-turmeric chicken thighs

Serves 130 min765 kcal

Crisp-skin chicken thighs with roasted turnip and carrot, sautéed chard.

Ingredients
  • Chicken thighs — 7¾ oz (2, skin on)
  • Turnip — 4¼ oz (1, wedged)
  • Carrot — 1¾ oz (1 small)
  • Turmeric — 1 tsp
  • Ginger — 1 tsp
  • Chard — 2 cups
  • Garlic-infused olive oil — 2 Tbsp
  • Sea salt & pepper
Method
  1. Heat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the turnip and carrot with a little oil, the spices and salt; roast ~20 minutes.
  2. Pat the chicken dry and season. Brown it skin-side down in the oil 5–6 minutes until crisp, then set skin-up on the tray and roast 12–15 minutes to 175°F (79°C).
  3. Sauté the chard in a little oil; serve with the roots and chicken.
Notes

Crisp the skin on the stovetop before finishing in the oven — direct contact with the pan does what the oven can't.
