Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Seasoning

  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, finely chopped
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Creamy White Sauce

  • 1 small onion, finely sliced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup plant-based cream
  • 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Instructions

  1. Prepare and Season the Chicken: Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to ensure crispy skin. Generously season both sides with salt, freshly ground black pepper, finely chopped rosemary, and thyme. Rub olive oil over each piece to lock in moisture during roasting.
  2. Roast the Chicken: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the chicken thighs skin side up in a roasting pan, leaving space between pieces for even heat circulation. Roast for 35-40 minutes until the skin is golden brown and the juices run clear when pierced.
  3. Prepare the Creamy White Sauce: While the chicken roasts, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté finely sliced onions and minced garlic until translucent and fragrant. Add apple cider vinegar to deglaze the pan, then stir in plant-based cream, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), and natural gelling agent. Simmer gently until the sauce thickens to a smooth, creamy consistency.
  4. Combine and Finish: Once the chicken is fully roasted, transfer the pieces carefully into the skillet with the white sauce. Spoon sauce over each piece, then simmer together on low heat for 5 minutes to blend the flavors beautifully before serving.

Notes

  • Dry the chicken skin thoroughly for crispy texture.
  • Use fresh herbs whenever possible for the best aroma and flavor.
  • Simmer the sauce gently to prevent separation and build rich flavor.
  • Rest the chicken briefly after roasting to retain juiciness.
  • Adjust seasoning at the end with salt and pepper to taste.
