Ingredients

  • 2leeks, white and tender green parts only, halved lengthwise
  • 4smallcrisp apples, quartered
  • 2tablespoonsolive oil
  • 6small sprigsfresh rosemary
  • salt, divided
  • ¾teaspoonground black pepper, divided
  • 8smallchicken thighs

  • Directions

    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

    Cut leeks in half crosswise and place in a large roasting pan. Add apples, olive oil, rosemary, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.

    Season chicken with remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and nestle, skin-side up, among vegetables.

    Roast in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, and apples and leeks are tender, 40 to 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).



    Cook's Notes:

    If you can't get leeks, just use your favorite onion as a substitute, though the leeks are delicious.

    Drumsticks can be used in place of chicken thighs.
