Chicken in red wine in the oven

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 3 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make chicken in wine? First, prepare the marinade. If you use ready-made spice mixtures, be sure to read the ingredients on the package. Often such mixtures already contain salt and pepper, take this into account, otherwise you risk oversalting and peppering the dish.

2. STEP 2

   

   In a bowl, combine soy sauce, vegetable oil, liquid honey, pressed garlic, chicken seasoning, nutmeg, salt and pepper to taste. Pour red wine over everything and stir.

3. STEP 3

   

   Now prepare the main ingredients. In addition to chicken thighs, you can use any parts of the chicken: drumsticks, fillets, wings. Wash the garlic cloves, dry them and leave them whole without peeling them.

4. STEP 4

   

   Wash the chicken thighs (or other parts of the chicken), dry them, and cut in half if necessary.

5. STEP 5

   

   Pour the wine marinade over the chicken, making sure to cover most of the chicken with liquid.

6. STEP 6

   

   Let the chicken marinate for one hour at room temperature, or preferably 8-24 hours in the refrigerator. If you marinate in the refrigerator, cover the bowl with the chicken with cling film.

7. STEP 7

   

   Peel the potatoes and cut into large cubes.

8. STEP 8

   

   Cut the orange into slices.

9. STEP 9

   

   Cut the red onion into slices too.

10. STEP 10

    

    Place the potatoes in an even layer in a baking dish and lightly salt them.

11. STEP 11

    

    Remove the chicken thighs from the marinade and place skin-side up on top of the potatoes.

12. STEP 12

    

    Place orange slices, red onion, rosemary or thyme sprigs and whole garlic cloves between the chicken pieces. If you don't have fresh rosemary and thyme, dried herbs will do.

13. STEP 13

    

    Cover the pan with foil or a lid and place the chicken in an oven preheated to 180°C for about 1.5 hours. Determine the exact baking time and temperature based on your oven.

14. STEP 14

    

    10 minutes before the end of baking, remove the foil and brush the surface of the chicken and onions with a thin layer of liquid honey. Return the chicken to the oven and broil until golden brown and crispy. Bon appetit!

I’ve added it to my book. I’ll definitely try to make it. I’ve long wanted to try something stewed with wine. So far I’ve only made it with beer. In my opinion, a wonderful recipe, and very detailed! I looked at the photos with very clear steps. For a dish that was stewed in sauce, in my opinion it’s very beautiful and appetizing photo.Thanks for the recipe

Chicken in red wine in the oven looks great on both everyday and holiday tables. My men devoured this wonderful, delicious chicken by both cheeks. I made it without potatoes, I was in a hurry. Thank you very much for the recipe!
