Preparation

How to prepare Rustic chicken with potatoes

To make rustic chicken with potatoes, first put the chicken thighs and drumsticks in a baking dish, then season with oil 1, salt, oregano 2, and dried thyme 3.

Massage the meat to evenly flavor it 4. Place the chicken pieces in a preheated non-stick pan 5 and let them brown over medium heat for about ten minutes without touching them. When they are nicely colored on one side, turn them over 6.

After about 5 minutes, deglaze with white wine and let the chicken cook for another 10-15 minutes without touching it 7. After this time, turn off the heat and transfer the chicken to a baking dish with the cooking juices 8, then cover with a sheet of aluminum foil to prevent it from drying out 9.

In the meantime, peel the potatoes and cut them into cubes about 1.2 inches 10. In the same pan where you cooked the chicken, add a drizzle of oil 11 and the unpeeled garlic cloves 12.

Add the potatoes 13, salt 14, and brown them over medium heat for about 15 minutes 15.

Meanwhile, peel and slice the onion 16. After 15 minutes, the potatoes will have colored, so remove the garlic cloves and add the onion first 17 and then the chicken 18.

Add the cooking juices back to the pan 19 and continue cooking over medium-low heat for another 10 minutes, stirring gently to avoid breaking the potatoes. Once cooked, season with dried oregano 20 and serve your rustic chicken with potatoes immediately 21!

Storage

Rustic chicken with potatoes can be stored in the refrigerator for 2 days in an airtight container.

Advice

Use the herbs of your choice, such as sage or bay leaves!

If you prefer, you can replace the white onion with a red one.
