Roasted Chicken, Apples & Leeks by Real Simple

Tried this tonight - SO easy, inexpensive (dinner for 4-6 people for under $8) & delish. Good if you need a "mild" but tasty meal.

hands on time: 10 minutes
total time: 55 minutes
serves 4

8 small chicken thighs & drumsticks (w/skin)
4 small crisp apples (seems like a lot but it's not)
2 leeks, halved crosswise & lengthwise
6 small sprigs of rosemary (if you're a fan/just as good w/o)
2 T of olive oil
Kosher salt & pepper to taste

1. Heat oven to 400
2. On a large rimmed baking sheet (or in a roasting pan) toss the chicken, apples, leeks, rosemary, oil, salt and pepper (I salted/peppered the chicken directly on both sides then tossed). Place chicken skin-side up on tray.
3. Roast until the chicken is cooked through and the apples & leeks are tender (about 40-45 min).
