Recipe
Ginger-turmeric chicken thighs
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
- Heat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the turnip and carrot with a little oil, the spices and salt; roast ~20 minutes.
- 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).
- 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.
