Direction
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Rinse the chicken thighs. Remove any excess fat and leftover pin feathers and pat dry. Liberally salt and pepper the chicken. Brush both side of the chicken with the butter.
Place the onions, carrots, and fennel in a large roasting pan. add thyme and halves of lemon and all the garlic. Toss with salt, pepper, and olive oil. Spread around the bottom of the roasting pan and place the chicken skin on top.
Roast the chicken thighs for 1 hour, or UNTIL the juices run clear. Remove the chicken and vegetables to a platter and cover with aluminum foil for about 20 minutes to rest.
Serve it with the vegetables. I Love this menu especially on Sunday.
