Roasted garlic & lemon thyme chicken with tomato & sourdough salad

Chicken thighs have much more flavour than breast meat and cooking them slowly gives them a lovely soft texture, so the meat just falls apart. We have served this dish at several summer parties because it always goes down a storm. The chicken is accompanied by our version of the Tuscan salad panzanella and we always warn our guests that it is the garlic lovers’ option.
