Step 1
Preheat oven to 425°F. In a large bowl, toss the 1 lb baby carrots, 1 lb baby potatoes, and 8 oz cremini mushrooms with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp dried thyme, and salt and pepper.
Step 2
Spread the vegetables in a single layer in a large roasting pan. Place the 4 chicken legs on top, skin side up. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Step 3
Roast for 35-40 minutes, until the chicken skin is golden and crispy and the vegetables are tender when pierced with a fork.
Step 4
Remove the chicken and vegetables to a platter. Place the pan over medium heat on the stovetop, add 1/4 cup water, and scrape up any browned bits to make a quick pan sauce. Simmer for 2 minutes until slightly thickened.
Step 5
Serve the chicken and vegetables with the pan sauce spooned over the top.
