Read our privacy policy It’s been a bit since the traybake crossed the Atlantic from Britain, where a host of cooking personalities popularized a technique that combines big flavor and weeknight convenience onto one pan. For this recipe from our book “COOKish,” which limits recipes to just six ingredients without sacrificing flavor, we opt for bone-in, skin-on chicken parts, which are hard to overcook. Fennel-Crusted Chicken and Scallion Traybake Start to finish: 50 minutes Servings: 4 2 teaspoons fennel seeds, crushed 1½ teaspoons ground coriander Kosher salt and ground black pepper 3 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts or thighs 1 bunch scallions, cut into 1½-inch pieces 1 lemon, halved Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling Chopped fresh tarragon OR fresh cilantro, to serve Heat the oven to 450°F.
