This citrus chicken traybake is an easy but impressive weeknight dinner recipe to add to your repertoire. Adding sweet and juicy whole clementines at the end of the roasting gives a twist on a typical chicken dinner and makes this midweek meal a bit special. We’ve left the skin on the chicken thighs, as it makes the meat really flavourful and juicy, but you can remove after cooking if you prefer not to eat the skin. If you’re looking for something different, but simple, to make with chicken, this easy citrus chicken traybake is just what you need.
