Instructions

Step 1

Marinade: add shallots, garlic, lemon slices, lemon juice, peppercorns, saffron, thyme, half of your tarragon, olive oil, water and salt to a large bowl and turn lightly to mix.

Step 2

Add chicken and, using your hands, toss to coat and combine. Cover bowl with cling wrap and marinate in the fridge a minimum of 2 hours – preferably overnight.

Step 3

Preheat oven to 425°f (220°c). Spray roasting pan well with non-stick spray. Remove chicken, in marinate from fridge and let stand at room temperature. Add fingerling potatoes to roasting pan, season with salt to taste. Now add chicken, and ENTIRE marinate to roasting pan and toss to coat well. Be sure potatoes are well coated in marinate and chicken thighs are skin up. This is your opportunity for a little food styling, so feel free to arrange some lemon slices on the chicken and cover well with herbs.

Step 4

Roast at to 425°f (220°c), uncovered, for 20 minutes. Cover with tinfoil, reduce temperature to 375°f (190°c) for an additional 20 minutes or until potatoes are tender and meat is finished to an internal temperature of 165°f (74°c). Serve immediately.
