Here, chicken thighs and drumsticks roast on one side of a sheet pan while, on the other, a trio of tomatoes (plum, grape, and sun-dried) intensifies in flavor along with crusty potato and briny olives.

Recipe information

  • Total Time

    1 hr

Ingredients

2 chicken legs, separated into thighs and drumsticks
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
2 plum tomatoes, each cut lengthwise into 4 slices
2 celery ribs, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 large boiling potato (about 10 ounces), cut into 1/4-inch-thick half-moons
3/4 cup halved grape or cherry tomatoes
2 pieces sun-dried tomato (packed in oil), thinly sliced (about 1 tablespoon)
10 brine-cured black olives such as Kalamata
1/4 cup water

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Put a 17-by 11-inch heavy 4-sided sheet pan in upper third of oven and preheat oven to 475°F.

    Step 2

    Toss chicken with 1 tablespoon oil and season with a slightly rounded 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Place chicken, skin side down, to one side in hot sheet pan.

    Step 3

    Toss plum tomatoes, celery, and potato with remaining 2 tablespoon oil and spread in empty side of pan in 1 layer, without crowding. Season vegetables with 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper.

    Step 4

    Roast 20 minutes. Turn chicken over and roast chicken and vegetables 15 minutes more.

    Step 5

    Scatter grape tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes, and olives over vegetables in pan.

    Step 6

    Drizzle water over vegetables, then roast until chicken is golden and cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes more. Serve chicken with vegetables.
