Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a large bowl, whisk together ¼ cup avocado oil, vinegar, and all spices.

3. Pat chicken thighs dry and coat them thoroughly in the marinade.

4. Place chicken skin-side up on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes.

5. Remove from oven and scatter lemon slices, artichoke hearts, and asparagus on the pan.

6. Toss the vegetables in chicken juices, drizzle remaining 2 tbsp avocado oil, and gently toss again.

7. Nestle chicken back into the mixture, skin side up, and bake another 15–20 minutes until cooked through.

8. Remove from oven and let cool for 8–10 minutes before serving.

9. Sprinkle with fresh dill, parsley, or basil to serve.

Notes

– Frozen artichokes are best, but canned can be used — add only in the last 10 minutes to avoid burning.

– Chicken drumsticks or boneless thighs can be substituted — adjust baking time accordingly.

– For extra heat, increase the red pepper flakes slightly.

– Serve with rice, couscous, or flatbread for a complete meal.

– Leftovers make excellent wraps or salad toppings the next day.
