Recipe: Roast Chicken Thighs With Kumquats

Serves 4.

Note: This is a quick, fresh tasting dish; the kumquats sweeten as they caramelize and soften. Serve over rice or with potatoes. From Beth Dooley.

• 1 lb. chicken thighs and legs, trimmed of excess fat, rinsed and patted dry with paper towels

• 1/4 c. olive oil

• Pinches of salt and freshly ground black pepper

• 1 c. roughly chopped, seeded kumquats, about 1/2 lb.

Directions

When cooked, the juices will run clear and the internal temperature of the thickest part of the thigh will register 160 to 165 on a meat thermometer. Total roasting time will be about 45 to 50 minutes. Serve the chicken with the kumquats and any of the pan juices.
