The roasted chicken is ubiquitous in kitchens around the world. As an animal it grows quickly, is compact, and easily dressed for a multitude of kitchen preparations. As a meat, it doesn't need to be tenderized and everyone at home loves it. Each kitchen makes its own version of the roast, and it's one of those things that don't require a recipe since you flavor it with anything that is available.
I like roasting whole birds, but yesterday, I found myself with a package of chicken thigh fillet. In which case, I decided to roast the chicken parts. Thighs make people happy, anyway. This recipe goes from the oven to the table in a few easy steps.

For yesterday's meal (pictured above), I happened to have some beautiful french beans which I decided to grill on the stove top. Then I placed the beans on top of the roasted chicken to give it an appetizing green finish.
