Method

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan. Peel and quarter the parsnips lengthways, toss in 1 tbsp oil and season well, then spread on a large roasting tray.

  2. 2

    Mix the honey and mustard together. Pat the chicken thighs dry, season, and brush generously with the honey-mustard glaze.

  3. 3

    Nestle the chicken thighs among the parsnips, scatter over the thyme sprigs, and roast for 35 minutes until the chicken is golden and cooked through.

  4. 4

    Remove the chicken and parsnips to a warm plate. Place the roasting tray over a medium hob flame, sprinkle in the flour and stir for 1 minute.

  5. 5

    Gradually pour in the chicken stock, stirring constantly and scraping up any roasting bits, until you have a smooth gravy. Simmer for 3 minutes, season, and serve alongside.
