Lemony chicken thighs roasted with red onions, golden potatoes, thyme sprigs and chanterelle mushrooms make a pleasing early autumn dinner. If chanterelles aren't in season, substitute another wild mushroom or cremini. Feel free to add other vegetables, such as chunks of sweet potato or wedges of fennel, to the mix.
