Roasted Chicken Thighs & Radishes with Lemon Crème Fraîche

Roasting radishes helps mellow out their spiciness. We reduce food waste by using their tops, too—they add color and a slightly bitter bite. If your radishes come without tops, sub in another dark leafy green, such as chopped kale.

Ingredients

4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 1 3/4 pounds), trimmed
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon salt, divided
½ teaspoon ground pepper, divided
5 cups radishes, chopped if large, plus 6 cups radish greens (about 3 bunches), divided
1 small red onion, cut into 1/4-inch wedges
½ cup crème fraîche
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh chives

Directions

Preheat oven to 450°F.
Brush both sides of chicken with 1 tablespoon oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Toss radishes and onion with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Arrange the chicken and vegetables in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet.
Roast for 20 minutes. Add radish greens and continue roasting until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of a thigh without touching bone registers 165°F, about 10 minutes more.
Meanwhile, whisk crème fraîche, mustard, lemon zest, lemon juice and chives in a small bowl. Serve the chicken and vegetables with the sauce.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
