Baked Chicken Thighs and Potatoes
  • Difficulty: Easy
  • Cost: Economical
  • Preparation time: 10 Minutes
  • Portions: 2 People
  • Cooking methods: Stovetop, Slow Cooking, Oven
  • Cuisine: Italian

Ingredients

  • 2 chicken thighs
  • 10.5 oz potatoes
  • 1 sprig rosemary
  • 1 clove garlic
  • Half cup beer (or wine)
  • to taste extra virgin olive oil
  • to taste salt

Steps

  • To prepare the baked chicken thighs and potatoes, pour a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, the garlic clove, and some rosemary into a pan.

  • Heat the oil over moderate flame, then lay the chicken thighs and brown them.

  • Then deglaze with the beer. Once it has evaporated, lower the flame and add a bit of water, calculating that the meat should be covered by about three-quarters.

  • Cook over low heat, uncovered, for 25-30 minutes, or until the liquid has evaporated, reducing.

  • Meanwhile, peel the potatoes, wash them, and cut them into chunks. Dry them very well and place them in an oven tray covered with parchment paper.

  • Season with a generous drizzle of oil, salt, and chopped rosemary. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F, for about 20-25 minutes, approximately the same time it will take for the chicken liquid to evaporate.

  • Place the chicken thighs among the potatoes, pour the cooking base over and put back in the oven until the chicken and potatoes are well browned.

  • Remove from the oven and serve. Enjoy your meal!
