Ingredients
Serves 4-6
4 chicken legs (cut each leg into 2)
approx.900g tiny potatoes, peeled
8 small red onions, sliced in half
4 -6 large garlic cloves, left whole with skin
about 500ml chicken stock
1 glass of dry white wine
2 tbsp finely chopped rosemary
2 tbsp chopped thyme
1 tsp dried tarragon
Salt and pepper to season
Some extra virgin olive oil
A large baking dish
Method
1. Preheat oven to 190C.
2. Bash the garlic cloves lightly to loosen the skins a little.
3. Heat a glug of olive oil in a frying pan and quickly fry the halved onions and garlic cloves (about 1 minute only).
4. Add the wine and stock and cook over a high heat for a further minute. Set aside.
5. Lay the chicken pieces and potatoes in a large baking dish, then pour over the stock mixture. Season everything with salt, pepper and the herbs. Drizzle with a little olive oil.
6. Cover the dish with a dome of foil and bake for about 40 mins. Remove the foil, turn the heat up to 210C then bake for a further 20 mins, or until potatoes and chicken are golden.
Lovely served with a rocket salad and some good Italian bread.
tried this recipe or a similar one? share your tips...
Lovely but as some other posters have said, you only need about half the liquid, and cook at 210/gas mark 6/7 from the beginning, otherwise you just have boiled potatoes and chicken in stock!
This recipe didn't work for me! Way too much liquid. My chicken and potatoes would have never been "golden brown" had I not poured out half the liquid part way through baking. Also, I had to cook way longer at a higher temp. What did I do wrong?!
How Small do the potatoes need to be? I am going to try this recipe this weekend
Vikki H:<br /> <br /> Sounds amazing with the pancetta. When did you add it and did you cook it first or just throw it in with the herbs?<br /> <br /> Thanks!
Made this last night and OMG! Was loved by all!
Wow, I made this recipe for friends tonight and it was beautiful. I put the whole dish in the middle of the table with crusty bread & we ate like cannibals!! I added pancetta to the recipe & it worked out really well. I will make this all the time, so easy & soooo tasty :)
