Transfer potato-carrot mixture to same baking sheet; turn to coat with drippings. Roast until vegetables soften, 30 minutes. Place thighs on vegetables; pour accumulated juices from chicken over.

BAKED CHICKEN THIGHS WITH POTATOES AND PEAS

Steps:

• In a 3 quart baking dish, toss potatoes with garlic, onion, 2 tablespoons oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon thyme, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Transfer to preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes.
• While potatoes are cooking, trim excess skin from chicken thighs. Score the chicken 4 times (I like to make an XX pattern crossing in opposite directions) on the skin side, about 1/4-inch deep. Toss with remaining oil, salt, thyme, and pepper and set aside until potatoes are ready.
• Place seasoned thighs on top of potatoes in a single layer, skin-side up, and return to the oven for 40 minutes.
• Add drained peas, tucking them down around the chicken, and cook another 15-20 minutes, until warmed.

LEMON ROASTED CHICKEN WITH CARROTS AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Remove giblets from cavity of chicken. Wash chicken thoroughly in cold water, both inside and out. Remove any loose bits of fat. Pat dry thoroughly with paper towels. Sprinkle a generous amount of salt and black pepper on the chicken, rubbing it with your fingers over all its body and into its cavity.
• Wash the lemons in cold water and dry them with a towel. Soften each lemon by placing it on a counter and rolling it back and forth as you put firm downward pressure on it with the palm of your hand. Puncture the lemons in at least 20 places each, using a sturdy round toothpick, a trussing needle, a sharp-pointed fork, or similar implement.
• Place both lemons in the bird's cavity. Close up the opening with toothpicks or with trussing needle and string; do not seal it completely airtight, or the bird may explode. Run kitchen string from one leg to the other, tying it at both knuckle ends. Leave the legs in their natural position without pulling them tight. If the skin is unbroken, the chicken will puff up as it cooks, and the string serves only to keep the thighs from spreading apart and splitting the skin.
• Put the chicken into a roasting pan, breast facing down. Arrange the carrots and potatoes around it. Place the pan in the upper third of the preheated oven. After 30 minutes, stir the carrots and potatoes and turn the chicken over to have the breast face up. When turning it, try not to puncture the skin. If kept intact, the chicken will swell like a balloon, which makes for an arresting presentation at the table later. Do not worry too much about it, however, because even if it fails to swell, the flavor will not be affected.
• Cook for 30 to 35 minutes more, then turn the oven up to 400°F Stir the potatoes and carrots again, ensuring they are covered with the chicken juice, and cook for 20 minutes more. (Total cooking time should be 20 to 25 minutes per pound.).
• Whether your bird has puffed up or not, bring it to the table whole and leave the lemons inside until it is carved and opened. The juices that run out are perfectly delicious. Be sure to spoon them over the chicken slices. The lemons will have shriveled up, but they still contain some juice; if you squeeze them, they may squirt.

OVEN-ROASTED POTATOES: PATATE ARROSTO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• On a baking sheet, place the potatoes, carrots, garlic, rosemary, and sage. Drizzle with the olive oil, season with salt and pepper to taste, and toss to coat.
• Roast for 50 to 60 minutes, tossing halfway through, until the potatoes are crisp and golden. Remove from the oven and serve.
• IMPORTANTE! To parboil and pan-roast these potatoes: In a pot, combine the whole potatoes with water to cover. Bring to a boil and cook for 15 minutes. Remove the potatoes from the pot and set them aside to cool. Cut the potatoes into 3/4-inch chunks and add to a large nonstick skillet with the carrots, garlic, rosemary, and sage. Dress with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and heat on high until the potatoes are crisp and golden, occasionally moving the potatoes by shaking the pan handle. Avoid stirring with a spoon or spatula, so that you don't break the skin, and the potatoes can achieve a nice sear.
