Crispy Chicken Thighs with Spice-Roasted Radishes (from Food & Wine)

First Published
March 2019

I adapted this recipe from Food & Wine the other night and it was absolutely delicious! The roasted radishes are amazing! The March issue featured an article on creating your own spice blends and included this chicken recipe along with a couple of spice blend recipes: an Everyday Spice Blend and a Blackening Spice Blend.  The chicken recipe called for the Everyday Spice Blend but I used my own version of the Blackening Spice Blend (omitting the brown sugar, adding finely chopped fresh rosemary and using lime zest instead of juice) instead (because I just liked the way it sounded).  I also used chicken breasts as I prefer them to thighs…but by all means go with thighs if you like them.
