Prep 10 min Cook 30 min Serves 6 Source

Ingredients

  • 6-7 chicken thighs, (skin on and bone in)
  • 1 medium orange
  • 1 lemon
  • 1 lime
  • 1 teaspoon (5g) minced garlic
  • ½ onion, (sliced)
  • ½-1 teaspoon (1-3g) cumin
  • 1 tablespoon (10g) onion powder
  • ½-1 teaspoon (1-2g) cayenne pepper (or red pepper flakes)
  • 1 tablespoon (2g) rosemary, (finely chopped)
  • 1½ cups (300-400g) or more vegetables ((zucchini, potatoes, carrots))
  • salt and pepper (to taste)

Steps

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 400℉ (205℃).

  2. 2

    Season chicken with salt and pepper. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Squeeze the orange, lemon, and lime juice into a non-reactive pan. Add the cumin, garlic, onion, cayenne, and rosemary. Mix well and adjust for seasoning. Refrigerate until ready to use.

  4. 4

    Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper, then coat them with about ⅔ of the marinade, covering both sides.

  5. 5

    When ready to cook, heat a cast iron or oven-safe skillet with about 2 tablespoons oil, and brown the chicken skin-side down for about 5 minutes. Remove and set the chicken aside.

  6. 6

    Add the vegetables. Stir for about a minute, and add the remaining marinade. Return chicken to the skillet with rosemary sprigs, transfer it to the oven, and roast at 400℉ (205℃), uncovered, until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is crisp (20-25 minutes).
