Add the chicken thighs and toss to coat in the mixture. Note: At this point, you can refrigerate the chicken up to 8 hours before baking. 2 Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil over the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Add the sliced leeks, [wprm-ingredient text="½ cup thinly sliced shallot" uid="7"], and the potato chunks. Sprinkle with ½ teaspoon salt and ground black pepper and toss to coat with the oil and seasonings. 3 Put the chicken thighs on top, nestling them into the vegetables.

Turn the heat up to 450F and continue baking and additional 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the chicken is golden brown.View original recipe
