Instructions

Step 1

Center a rack in the oven and preheat it to 450 degrees F. Rub a baking sheet with a little oil (or line it with foil and oil the foil).

Step 2

Put the potatoes, mushrooms, shallot or onion and garlic in a large bowl. Toss in 4 sprigs each of the rose- mary and thyme, 1 teaspoon salt, a few grindings of pep- per, 3 tablespoons of the oil and 3 tablespoons of the bal- samic. Mix everything well and spread the out on the baking sheet.

Step 3

Put the chicken in the bowl, along with the remain- ing 3 tablespoons oil and 2 tablespoons balsamic,

Step 4

1⁄2 teaspoon salt and a good amount of pepper, and mix well to coat the chicken. Move the vegetables around to make room for the chicken. Tuck the remaining herbs under each piece.

Step 5

Roast the chicken for 40 minutes to 1 hour, until a thermometer stuck into the thickest part of a thigh mea- sures 165 degrees F.

Step 6

Serve everything on the baking sheet or a big platter; pour over the cooking juices.

Step 7

S T O R I N G The supper is best served straight from the oven, but leftovers are good for a couple of days; cover and refrigerate. If you’ve got a few potatoes left over, cut them into cubes and toss them into a salad.
