Method

8 steps
  1. Preheat the oven to 230°C. Cut the chicken legs into thighs and drumsticks, and pat them dry with a paper towel.

  2. Cut the potatoes in half, slice the bell pepper into strips, and cut the onion into thick wedges.

  3. In a large baking dish, toss the chicken, potatoes, pepper, and onion with oil, thyme, salt, and pepper. Arrange everything in a single layer with the chicken skin-side up.

  4. Bake for 30 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is golden brown.

  5. Prepare the arugula by removing any tough stems and place it in a large bowl.

  6. Transfer the cooked chicken and vegetables to the bowl with the arugula.

  7. Add the wine to the baking dish, place it on the stove over medium heat, and warm for a minute, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom with a spatula.

  8. Pour the resulting sauce over the chicken and vegetables, toss, and serve.
