About

This has been one of my most popular traybakes. It is quick and easy to prep, making it perfect for a weeknight, but it’s also a great weekend option. Serve with a side salad or green veg.

Ingredients

8 chicken thighs, bone in and skin on
Salt and pepper
Olive oil
8 rashers

Method

Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Heat a roasting tray or casserole dish on the hob, add a good drizzle of oil and place the chicken in skin side down. Leave it untouched for a good 5 minutes so that the skin crisps, then set aside.

Fry the bacon in the same tray or dish and let it colour before adding the leek, garlic and thyme. Soften them for a few minutes, then stir in
