Ingredients

Scale

For the chicken:

  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (or breasts if preferred)

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (optional)

  • 1 lemon, cut into wedges (for serving)

For the buttered noodles:

  • 12 ounces of wide egg noodles

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter

  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt

  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)

  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2: Prepare and roast the chicken

Pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towels. Rub them with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and thyme if using. Place them skin-side up on a sheet pan or roasting dish. Roast for 35–40 minutes, until the skin is crispy and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.

Step 3: Cook the noodles

While the chicken roasts, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the egg noodles according to package instructions until tender. Drain well.

Step 4: Butter the noodles

Return the drained noodles to the pot. Add the butter, salt, pepper, and parsley if using. Toss until the butter melts and coats the noodles evenly. Sprinkle with Parmesan if desired.

Step 5: Assemble and serve

Plate the buttered noodles and top each serving with a piece of crispy, juicy chicken. Serve with lemon wedges on the side for a bright, fresh finish.
