Steps:
- Put oven rack in upper third of oven and preheat oven to 500°F.
- Toss chicken with oil, thyme sprigs, garlic, salt, and pepper in a large bowl, then transfer to a large (17- by 12-inch) shallow heavy baking pan (1 inch deep).
- Bake chicken 10 minutes, then add lemon slices to pan. Continue to bake until chicken is golden and cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes more. Serve chicken with lemon slices.
CHICKEN LEGS STEAMED WITH THYME
Steps:
- Heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and heat. When the oil is hot, add the onions and cook for 1 minute. Add the mushrooms and chicken and cook until the mushrooms begin to give off their liquid and the chicken is no longer pink. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat and add the port. Return to the heat and cook until the port is reduced by 1/4. Be careful as the mixture may ignite. Add the chicken stock and cook for 2 minutes. With a slotted spoon, remove the chicken and mushroom mixture and place in a bowl. Return the pan to the heat and reduce the liquid down until it is a syrupy consistency, about 5 minutes. Add the reduced liquid to the chicken mixture. Add the parsley and mix well. Cool.
- Remove the bone from the thigh to the first joint of the leg. Reserve the bones and scraps for the steaming liquid. You can ask your butcher to do this for you. Season the legs, inside and out, with salt and pepper. Lay the legs down, skin-side down. Place 1/4 cup of the cooled filling inside each leg. Fold the meat over the filling and secure closed with a toothpick.
- In the bottom of a steamer, combine the chicken stock, reserved bones, thyme, and olive oil and bring to a boil.
- Place the steamer basket in the steamer. Add the chicken legs in 1 layer and cover. Steam until the chicken is cooked through, about 20 to 25 minutes.
- Remove the chicken legs from the steamer and keep warm while you make the sauce. Place 1/2 cup of the steaming liquid in a blender. Add the watercress and blend well. With the blender running on low, add the butter, a little bit at a time. Season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice.
- Slice the boneless part of the chicken leg into 3 slices. Place some sauce on a plate and top with the chicken leg.

Steps:
- Place chicken breasts between two sheets of parchment or plastic wrap. Using a mallet or rolling pin, pound each to an even thickness of 1/2 inch. Do not make them any thinner or they could dry out.

ROASTED CHICKEN THIGHS WITH LEMON, THYME AND ROSEMARY
The ease and deliciousness of this recipe, from the chef Nancy Silverton's cookbook "Mozza at Home," deserves to be emphasized. Though you need several hours of refrigeration to allow the chicken skin to dry out, which makes it crisp, you can be flexible about it; do what's convenient. No matter what, just be sure to pat the skin dry with paper towels. You may also find the final run under the broiler unnecessary. Use your judgment. And also consider swirling in a good splash of white wine or chicken stock to the juices in the baking dish before spooning them on the chicken.

Steps:
- Pat chicken thighs dry and place, skin side up, in a single layer on a baking sheet. Place in refrigerator, uncovered, for 8 hours or overnight to dry skin. Remove chicken from refrigerator at least 45 minutes before cooking.
- Heat oven to 500 degrees. Spread onion slices and garlic cloves in a baking dish that can hold the chicken snugly in a single layer. Scatter lemon on the onion-garlic mixture and strew with thyme and rosemary sprigs.
- Remove chicken from baking sheet and place on several layers of paper towels, skin side down. Sprinkle with half the salt and pepper. Turn thighs over and season with remaining salt and pepper. Transfer to the baking dish skin side up. Use your hands to arrange the bed of onions and garlic so they're completely under the chicken.
- Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, until juices run clear when chicken is pierced with a knife point. If skin is not a deep golden brown and crispy, turn on broiler and broil chicken close to heat a few minutes to crisp and brown it.
- To serve, move chicken off the bed of onions, garlic, lemon and herbs. Discard lemon and spoon the rest of the ingredients, along with pan juices, onto a serving platter. Place chicken on top and serve.
