The story behind this easy paleo and AIP-friendly recipe for roasted chicken thighs begins with my love-hate relationship with restaurant chef's cookbooks. On the love side of the relationship is the usually beautiful photography and the chance to get into the mind of some of the greatest in the culinary world. But on the hate side is that the vast majority of the recipes in them are fussy and time consuming at best or completely impractical in the home kitchen at worst. The cookbook in question here falls more on the love end of the spectrum, but even the recipe with "simply" in its title required multiple steps, beginning with making a garlic confit in the oven and ended with a pan sauce, requiring multiple pans and cooking vessels in between.
