  1. 3 poundsboneless, skinless chicken thighs
  2. Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  3. 2garlic cloves, finely grated or minced
  4. 1 1/2 teaspoonsfresh thyme leaves, plus 3 thyme sprigs

  9. 1 tablespoondry sherry or dry vermouth (or ½ tablespoon lime juice and ½ tablespoon orange juice)
  10. 1 tablespoonunsalted butter, melted
  11. Flaky salt, for serving

Cooking Instructions

1 hour
  1. 1

    Heat the oven to 425 degrees. On a large, rimmed sheet pan, season chicken all over with 1¼ teaspoons salt and ½ teaspoon pepper. Rub garlic, thyme leaves and 1 tablespoon oil on chicken. Let stand at room temperature while you prepare the other ingredients.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, combine mushrooms, onion wedges, tarragon, thyme sprigs and a large pinch of salt and some freshly ground black pepper. Toss with remaining 2 tablespoons oil until well coated.

  3. 3

    Spoon mushroom mixture around chicken. Roast until chicken is cooked through, and the mushrooms and onions are golden brown and crispy, 35 minutes.

  4. 4

    Using a slotted spoon, immediately transfer chicken, onions and mushrooms to a serving platter.

  5. 5

    While the sheet pan is still very hot, add the sherry and butter. Deglaze the pan by gently swirling the sherry and butter using a wooden spoon to scrape up any brown bits stuck to the bottom. If the chicken released too much water, transfer pan liquid to a small saucepan and boil to reduce.

  6. 6

    Pour some pan sauce on top of chicken, onions and mushrooms, and serve sprinkled with flaky salt on top and more sauce if you like.
