EASY SHEET-PAN CHICKEN



Easy Sheet-Pan Chicken image

Crisp-skinned and very juicy, this is a more sophisticated version of the crumb-coated, oven-fried chicken dishes of childhood. In addition to bread crumbs, the chicken is slathered with two kinds of mustard plus fresh thyme and minced garlic, which makes it deeply flavored, bright and complex. And because it calls for only one pan, clean up is minimal. While the recipe calls for bone-in drumsticks and/or thighs, if you prefer boneless white meat, feel free to substitute it, reducing the cooking time by 5 to 10 minutes. Serve this with potatoes - either sweet or white - and your favorite green vegetable or salad. It's weeknight cooking at its finest.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
2 teaspoons chopped thyme leaves
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
3 pounds bone-in chicken thighs or drumsticks (or a mixture), patted dry

Olive oil, for drizzling

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. In a small bowl, combine whole-grain mustard, thyme leaves, garlic cloves, butter and Dijon mustard.
  • Season chicken with salt and pepper. Rub mustard butter mixture all over chicken (some might fall off but that's O.K.). Place bread crumbs in a wide, shallow bowl, then coat the chicken evenly with bread crumbs. Transfer chicken to a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil.
  • Bake until chicken is golden and no longer pink, 35 to 40 minutes.

Categories     Dinner

Time 1h35m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 small gala apples
2 medium fennel bulbs
1 large red onion
4 cloves garlic
olive oil, to taste
kosher salt, to taste
6 sprigs fresh thyme, plus more for sauce and garnish
8 fresh sage leaves, plus more for garnish
2 lb bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs and drumsticks
⅓ cup white wine
1 ½ teaspoons dijon mustard
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Cut each apple in half, then cut into ½-inch wedges, removing the core and seeds. Place the apples in a roasting pan.
  • Slice the fennel bulbs in half lengthwise. Cut the core out, then cut each half into ½-inch wedges. Add the fennel to the pan with the apples. Reserve some of the fronds for garnish.
  • Peel the red onion and cut in half through the stem. Cut into ½-inch wedges through the stem to keep the wedges intact. Add to the pan with the fennel and apples.
  • Peel the garlic and crush the cloves with the side of a knife. Add to the pan.
  • Drizzle everything lightly with olive oil. Season generously with salt and toss to coat. Place the thyme and sage on top.
  • Generously season the chicken on all sides with salt. Arrange the chicken on top of the vegetables.
  • Roast chicken for 20 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 350ºF and continue roasting for 35-45 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165ºF. Remove the pan from the oven.
  • Use a baster to remove most of the liquid from the bottom of the pan and transfer to a small saucepan.
  • Heat the drippings over medium heat. Add the white wine and bring to a simmer. Strip a few thyme sprigs and add the leaves to the pot, along with the mustard and a few grinds of black pepper. Whisk well to combine. Let reduce for 4-5 minutes, until slightly thickened. Stir in the butter until melted. Season with more salt to taste, if necessary.
  • Pour the sauce over the roasted chicken and vegetables. Garnish with more thyme, sage, and the reserved fennel fronds.
  • Enjoy!
