Chicken Thighs

Roasted Pearl Onions

Grilled Lemon-Horseradish Vinaigrette

Charred Escarole

Method

Prepare the Chicken

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

  2. 2

    Season the Chicken

    In a bowl, mix 'nduja, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture all over the chicken thighs, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Roast the Pearl Onions

  1. 3

    Prepare the Onions

    In a baking dish, combine the pearl onions with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and thyme. Toss to coat.

  2. 4

    Roast the Onions

    Place the baking dish in the oven and roast for 15-20 minutes or until the onions are tender and caramelized.

Cook the Chicken

  1. 5

    Roast the Chicken

    Arrange the seasoned chicken thighs on a baking sheet, skin-side up. Roast in the oven for 30-35 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is crispy.

Make the Vinaigrette

  1. 6

    Combine Ingredients

    In a bowl, whisk together lemon zest, lemon juice, horseradish, Dijon mustard, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until emulsified.

Char the Escarole

  1. 7

    Sauté the Escarole

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chopped escarole, season with salt and black pepper, and sauté until charred and wilted, about 5-7 minutes.

Assemble the Dish

  1. 8

    Plate the Dish

    On a serving platter, arrange the roasted chicken thighs, roasted pearl onions, and sautéed escarole. Drizzle with the lemon-horseradish vinaigrette and sprinkle with Castelvetrano olives and chopped parsley before serving.
