Chicken thighs are so cheap and so easy to cook. I love a meal that you can just throw into the oven and leave until it is done, no fussing or stirring or basting, just pop it in and let it do its thing.
My husband has always been a little bit funny about eating meat from the bone but roasted chicken thighs are now one of his favourite meals. They are so versatile too, sometimes we serve them with rosemary potato chips, sometimes with wholegrain vegetable rice or in the summer we love them with summer roasted veggie quinoa.
These Roasted Lemon Pepper Chicken Thighs would be great on a cold winters evening or equally as delicious on a warm summers night. They are also great cold, allow them to cool and refrigerate for a couple of days, perfect to add to a salad at lunch time!
