Ingredients
- 1 tbsp rapeseed oil
- 750g bone-in skin-on chicken thighs
- 2 onions, cut into wedges
- 600g sweet potatoes, cut into wedges
- 3 garlic cloves, unpeeled
- 200g Tenderstem broccoli
- 1 x 570g jar Bold Bean Co queen butter beans, drained
- 50g blanched almonds, toasted
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp sherry vinegar
- 6 sage leaves, finely shredded
Step by step
-
Preheat the oven to 220°C, fan 200°C, gas 7. Heat the rapeseed oil in a large frying pan and fry the chicken thighs for 3-4 minutes, skin side-down, until the skin is golden. Remove from the heat.
-
Put the onions, sweet potatoes and garlic cloves in a large roasting tin and nestle in the chicken thighs, skin side-up. Drizzle with the fat from the frying pan and season well. Roast for 30-35 minutes, adding the broccoli for the final 10 minutes.
-
When the vegetables are tender and the chicken is cooked through, remove from the oven and toss through the butter beans and almonds. Press the garlic cloves with the back of a spoon and stir the roasted garlic flesh through everything, discarding the skins. Cover and leave to rest for 5 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, sherry vinegar and sage and season well. Just before serving, drizzle over the dressing.
