Chicken thighs with potatoes

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to bake chicken thighs with potatoes? Prepare the necessary ingredients. The thighs on the bone can be cut in half, or you can leave them whole, just remove the tail part along with the glands, if any. I had thighs without bone and skin, which can be cut in half or not cut at all, they will be baked well. I didn't cut it, I just cleaned off some excess fat. The red sweet onion can be replaced with shallots or regular onions.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash and dry the chicken meat.

3. STEP 3

   

   Wash the potatoes, peel and cut into medium cubes. If you have small new potatoes, you can not peel them, but wash them thoroughly with a brush. In this case, pierce the tubers with a fork and bake whole.

4. STEP 4

   

   Peel the onion and cut into 4-6 pieces.

5. STEP 5

   

   Place the chicken and potatoes in a deep bowl, sprinkle them with dry garlic, paprika, ground pepper and salt. Mix everything and leave to marinate for 30 minutes. Turn on the oven to 180 degrees in advance.

6. STEP 6

   

   Transfer the potatoes and chicken to a baking dish. Add the onion cut into slices.

7. STEP 7

   

   Drizzle olive oil over everything. Bake the chicken thighs and potatoes in the oven for about 40 minutes. Periodically baste the chicken and potatoes with the juice from the bottom of the pan. After the specified time, increase the temperature to 200°C and bake for about 5 minutes until the chicken is crispy. The times are approximate, please be guided by the performance of your equipment. Read about how ovens work in a separate article at the end of this recipe.

8. STEP 8

   

   Remove the pan from the oven and divide the chicken and potatoes into plates. Bon appetit!

I really love baking chicken in cream. This is delicious! And the potatoes can be boiled or baked separately!

For my birthday, I prepared chicken thighs with potatoes as the main course. It is very convenient to bake both meat and side dish at once. I increased the amount of ingredients, but decided not to add onions. I cut up the chicken thighs the night before. I washed them, divided each into two parts and removed the skin. Marinated in a mixture of paprika, chicken spices and vegetable oil. And the next day I started working on potatoes. Separately, I salted it and sprinkled it with pepper. I placed the potatoes in a large pan, placing the thighs tightly on it. I baked it for almost 1.5 hours under foil, then 5 minutes without it. Pieces of skinless chicken dry out in places, so be sure to pour some broth on them from the bottom. The dish is simply gorgeous! The potatoes were so well soaked in meat juice, so tender and tasty! The chicken is soft, flavorful with a golden crust! Thanks for the recipe!
