Sicilian chicken thighs as my mom used to make with lots of roughly chopped onions, potato wedges, and whole tomatoes, and of course, an exaggerated amount of fresh herbs. Today I deliberately prepared only the thighs, but the whole chicken is delicious, including the breast. Poultry is a large family and includes, besides chicken obviously, turkey, hen, capon, duck, and naturally all birds. As alternative meats, they are very economical, versatile, and especially tasty, cost little and you can cook them in so many ways

Steps
Actually, today I chose only chicken thighs, always favored by everyone. I washed the potatoes and cut them into wedges with the skin on, left the cherry tomatoes whole, cleaned the onions, and quartered them.
In a baking dish lined with parchment paper, I seasoned with salt, pepper, fresh and dried rosemary, extra virgin olive oil, and white wine, the chicken with potatoes, cherry tomatoes, and onions.
After mixing all the ingredients well, I put it in the oven at 392°F for the first 30 minutes and at 356°F for the last 30 minutes.
And here they are, ready, the Sicilian chicken thighs as my mom used to prepare, fragrant and succulent.
About Chicken
Among the many chicken recipes, you have surely heard of “chicken Marengo” and who invented it, now I’ll tell you. Napoleon’s cook, after the Battle of Marengo, to prepare a sumptuous meal for the emperor with chicken, sought help from local farmers to gather as many ingredients as possible, thus mushrooms, eggs, river prawns, and buttered croutons became forever the ingredients to prepare chicken Marengo.
