Roast Chicken Thighs with Sausage, Potatoes and Garlic.


I adore helpful meals.  This is one of them.  There's barely any preparation, just fling a few chicken thighs and potatoes (don't bother peeling them) into a pan, chop up an onion, scatter a few garlic cloves here and there and toss in a few sausages, a couple of gulgs of olive oil and a handful of fresh herbs.  Hey Presto, you have a dinner that tastes divine and everyone will be happy with something in the pan.



Roast Chicken Thighs with Sausage, Potatoes and Garlic.
Recipe adapted from Nigella Lawson.

6-8 chicken thighs, bone in, skin on.
A good handful of new potatoes with the skins on.
1 onion, quartered
6 sausages (I used chicken but pork would be delicious)
Olive oil
Salt and pepper
4-6 garlic cloves (in their skins)
A handful of fresh parsley

Heat the oven to 425 F

Place the chicken thighs, potatoes, sausages, onion and garlic in a shallow baking tray.

Pour over the olive oil, sprinkle over the salt and pepper and chopped parsley.

Place in the oven and roast for about 50 minutes.  Baste a couple of times and spoon off any excess juice so everything crisps up nicely.

Remove from the oven, sprinkle with extra chopped parsley and dig in.

  15. What a tasty dish and a meal in itself. Perfect with just a salad. Love the flavors.

    I can't seem to figure out why I'm not receiving emails I subscribed to - yours is one of them. If I didn't see your comment on a post I wouldn't be here. It's difficult to remember everyone so when posts are emailed to me I don't forget. However when they stop coming I can't recall them as easily. I guess I'd better sign up again!
