The roasted chicken thighs with pumpkin cream are a dish that immediately brings the scent of autumn to the table with the presence of pumpkin, which is definitely a typically autumnal vegetable.
The meat remains tender and succulent inside and crispy on the surface, while the PUMPKIN, made even smoother by the addition of a small potato, becomes a velvety cream with a delicate taste.
It is a simple yet tasty main course recipe, perfect for a family lunch or an informal dinner with friends. If you want to give the dish with CHICKEN more texture contrast with the famous crispy note, I recommend adding a bit of toasted hazelnut crumble at the end of cooking, which gives a special aroma.
With a few ingredients, you can thus create a genuine, flavorful, and colorful main course that is also economical. If you love traditional chicken main courses, also try the ‘ncip ‘nciap chicken from Marche.

TIPS ON COOKING CHICKEN
Should the chicken be washed?
No. Chicken should never be washed under water because washing does not eliminate bacteria and can actually spread them on surfaces like cutting boards and kitchen knives. It is sufficient to pat it dry with paper towels before cooking.
What should the cooked chicken be like?
The chicken should always be well-cooked and never pink or bloody. The meat should be completely white inside to be safe to eat.
What to do to avoid dangerous contamination?
After handling raw chicken, it is important to wash hands, utensils, and surfaces thoroughly to avoid cross-contamination with other foods.
