23+-- Macros per portion: about 36 g protein, about 32 g fat, about 55 g carbs, about 11 g fiber.
2124 -- Bone-in skin-on thighs beat boneless. Better flavor, harder to overcook.
2225 -- If only boneless thighs are available, reduce roast time to about 25 minutes.
26+-- White beans bulk this out for fullness. Riesenbohnen (giant white beans) from Rewe are great if available; otherwise any white bean in a jar works.
2327 -- The pan sauce takes 2 minutes after the chicken comes out. Don't skip it.
