“Drunk” Chicken
No, it's not a humble chicken with potatoes. It is such an easy and simple recipe, but you will also be infatuated by its taste and aromas. It is a way to give your meal a Sunday aroma even if you prepare it within the week. Because every day should be a celebration and Cook Your Choice tries to show it to you in every way.
- 6 Chicken (Thighs with the side)
- 8 Potatoes (medium sized)
- 1 Beer (can or bottle)
- 1 cup Olive Oil
- 4-5 Garlic (cloves)
- 2 tablespoons Mustard
- 2 Lemons (their juice)
- 2 teaspoons Turmeric
- 1 tablespoon Curry
- 1 tablespoon Oregano (or thyme)
- Salt
- Pepper
Peel the potatoes and cut them in quinces.
Wash them well and place them in pan.
Pre heat the oven at 200C degrees on the air setting.
Place the chicken thighs on top after cleaning them well with some absorbent paper towels.
Moving on, add all of the ingredients except beer.
The olive oil, mustard, garlic, lemon juice, spices, oregano and salt.
Massage the ingredients well so that they all mix together.
At the end of this process make sure that the chicken thighs are on top of the potatoes.
Pour the beer on top and move the pan slightly so that it goes everywhere.
Bake at 200C degrees on the air setting for an hour on the lower rack in the oven. After half an hour turn the chicken thighs so that they bake evenly on both sides and move the potatoes so that they turn crispier.
- You could cover the food for half an hour with some cooking paper and turn the temperature on at 220C degrees. After that 30 minutes uncover it and put it back in the oven at 200C degrees this time. You don't want it to bake but bee hard. Always make sure to taste it so you know weather its ready or not.
- If you have time you can cook it on the resistance setting and just let it cook for longer, around 30 minutes more, on the same temperature.
- For a vegetarian version of this recipe, replace the chicken with mushrooms and follow the same steps.
- You could also use non alcoholic beer if you prefer.
- Serve it with some fresh salad (greens or tomato and cucumber), some type of spread like tzatziki or eggplant or cheese salad.
