A chance to breath and reconnect with your loved ones after a whirlwind week of school runs, meetings and an endless stream of emails. We can’t think of a better way to reconnect than to sit down together and break bread. A chance for real conversation, a chance to laugh together and truly relax. Our Sunday Suppers series is here to help you do just that. Simple but tasty recipes, something for the adults and the children. Kids love to help out in the kitchen, it’s a great way for them to express their creativity and don’t you find that when your doing a relaxed activity together you end up having the best conversations?
This weeks recipes are super easy in that they all cook at the same temperature in the oven, they just have to go in at varying stages. They are all delicious, wholesome classics, a definite staple in our home. If your kids don’t like asparagus you could easily add some carrots or green beans on the side, but when roasted asparagus are so deliciously nutty and sweet, they are worth a try! So what’s on the menu?

Ingredients
8 free range chicken thighs
salt & pepper
1 bulb of garlic
1 lemon
1 small bunch of thyme
olive oil (Approx 1/4 cup)[/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent” thickness=”20″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_separator type=”transparent” thickness=”20″][vc_column_text]
Method
1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Season the chicken thighs with salt & pepper on both sides & lay them on a sheet pan in one layer.
2. Smash open the bulb of garlic and use the flat side of your knife to crush each clove. Sprinkle the garlic evenly across the sheet pan.
3. Zest the lemon taking care not to grate any of the white pith, sprinkle evenly over the chicken. Now slice the lemon into 8th’s and tuck the slices in and around the chicken.
4. Take 2-3 sprigs of thyme and strip off the leaves then scatter them all over the chicken. Tuck any left over sprigs in with the lemon and chicken.
5. Drizzle over the olive oil and give the tray a good shake to make sure everything is coated.
6. Roast in the oven for 50-60 minutes. The skin should be crispy and the meat should easily come away from the bone.[/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent” thickness=”20″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” css_animation=””][vc_column][vc_column_text]
