Chicken thigh fillet in the oven

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make chicken thigh fillet in the oven? A very simple, quick and affordable dish. To begin, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. Instead of thigh fillet, you can use any other part of the chicken: breast fillet, drumstick, leg. You can only take fillet or meat with bones. You can use homemade or store-bought adjika.

2. STEP 2

   

   In a bowl, combine medium-hot adjika with sour cream. If adjika is very spicy, you can dilute it with the same amount of tomato paste or tomato sauce. To make the chicken less spicy, you can reduce the amount of adjika or replace it with sweet chili sauce.

3. STEP 3

   

   Mix everything thoroughly until smooth.

4. STEP 4

   

   Rinse the chicken meat thoroughly and dry it. Place the chicken in a bowl. Add meat spices, paprika, and salt to taste. Mix everything. If you are using ready-made spice mixtures, be sure to read the ingredients on the package. Often such mixtures already contain salt, take this into account, otherwise you risk oversalting the dish.

5. STEP 5

   

   Add adjika sauce with sour cream to the meat. Mix everything thoroughly. Let the chicken marinate for 1 hour at room temperature. Or longer, but in the refrigerator.

6. STEP 6

   

   Place the meat with the marinade in a baking dish. Place the dish in the oven and bake at 180°C for about 50 minutes.

7. STEP 7

   

   Sprinkle baked chicken thigh fillet with adjika with fresh herbs and serve with any side dish. Bon appetit!

From the recipe for chicken thigh fillet in the oven, I liked the marinade, adjika mixed with sour cream. I took chicken thighs and decided to cook them whole without separating the fillets (then it would be so delicious to gnaw at the bones)). I prepared the marinade and combined it with the thighs. Bake for 50 minutes at 180 degrees. It turned out very tasty and aromatic, juicy meat inside, with a spicy crispy crust on the outside. Thanks to the author for the marinade idea!

I liked the recipe for cooking chicken thigh fillet in the oven. The most important thing here is the marinade, it is very tasty! I took the boned thighs and divided each one in half for ease. For the marinade I used homemade spicy adjika, 25% sour cream, paprika, a little salt and seasoning for chicken. The aroma is amazing! All this splendor soaked the chicken for about 10 hours in the refrigerator. For convenience, I marinated in a bag, which I turned over periodically. I baked chicken thighs for an hour at 180°C. They were well browned, the skin became crispy, and the meat itself was soft! The thighs are delicious, with a pleasant spice! Thanks to adjika, there are notes of garlic and hot pepper. You can replace it with ketchup with certain spices and the taste will be slightly different. Sour cream softens the meat and makes it tender. The recipe is excellent, it’s simple, quick and delicious!
