Method
- Place rack in upper third of the oven, preheat to 425 degrees
- Pat chicken thighs dry and season with ½ tsp salt
- Put chicken, skin side down on a cold cast iron skillet or another oven proof skillet and cook on the stove over medium heat. Cook until light brown (8-10 min), move around pan and continue cooking until deeply browned (4 more minutes)
- Set chicken aside on a separate dish, skin side up
- Add potatoes, fennel, parsnips, carrots, onion, garlic, and remaining seasonings to the skillet. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently until softened, about 10 minutes.
- Return chicken to pan, skin-side up, and put pan in the oven for the chicken to finish cooking through and veggies to soften, at least an additional 15 minutes.
- Remove from oven, set chicken thighs aside to cool. Squeeze juice of one lemon over veggies and stir. Top with fennel fronds. Cut remaining lemon into wedges for serving.
