Notes
- I prefer bone in and skin on organic or all natural chicken thighs.
- I love cooking with fruits and adding fruits onto my roast chicken tray add a touch of surprise into it. Cherries and peaches are good in the summer. In the winter time, pears and apples are great as well.
- If not turnip, potatoes are a great choice as well.
- If you clean your carrots well, you do not need to peel. For baby carrots, trim them well. For the whole carrots, make sure you cut it into the same size to evenly and properly cook, about ½ inch thick. Or the same size as turnip
