A classic tray bake uses chicken thighs or drumsticks, potatoes, carrots, red onions, and herbs such as rosemary or thyme. Olive oil, salt, pepper, and sometimes lemon or garlic enhance the flavor and promote crispy skin.
Preparation Method
All the ingredients are arranged on a large baking sheet or in a roasting pan, then placed in a hot oven (approximately 200°C/400°F). Cooking them together allows the chicken juices to infuse the vegetables, creating a balance of juicy meat and caramelized vegetables. No extra steps or turning are required, making it a convenient weeknight dish.
