Cooking Instructions
Instructions for 2 people (double for 4)
1
Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ 425°F/ Gas 7
Add the Jersey Royal potatoes to a baking tray, drizzle with olive oil and season with a pinch of salt
Put the tray in the oven for 10-15 min or until almost cooked through and starting to crisp
2
While the potatoes are cooking, boil a kettle
Peel and finely chop (or grate) the garlic
Strip the thyme leaves and chop them finely, discarding the stems
3
Cut the lemon[s] in half
4
Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) over a medium-high heat
Pat the chicken thighs dry and season them generously on both sides with salt
Once hot, add the chicken thighs to the pan, skin-side down, and cook for 10 min or until the skin has browned and crisped
Once browned, turn the chicken thighs, skin-side up, and cook them for a further 1-2 min or until browned
5
Once done, add the chicken thighs to the baking tray with the potatoes (reserve the pan and juices for later)
Return the tray to the oven for a further 5-6 min or until everything is cooked through (no pink meat!)
6
Meanwhile, trim the asparagus stalks
Add the trimmed asparagus and a pinch of salt to a pot and cover with boiled water
Bring to the boil over a high heat and cook for 3-4 min or until tender
7
Return the reserved chicken pan to a medium-low heat with a very generous knob of butter and drizzle of olive oil
Once hot, add the chopped garlic and thyme and cook for 3-4 min or until softened but not browned
Once softened, add the juice of the lemon and season with a generous pinch of salt – this is your herby lemon butter
