good recipe for chicken thighs
hello, everyone. this is stephanie manley,and i want to show you how to roast chicken leg quarters. they're wonderful,they're inexpensive, and they taste really, really good. so i've basicallycleaned out my refrigerator, and now i'm going to roast theseleg quarters. now i'm putting in radishes in here. now maybe youhaven't cooked radishes before,
good recipe for chicken thighs, but you know what? they taste fantastic. theytaste like radishes, but cooked, and they are browned and wonderful. and now i'm also putting in here some babycarrots that i recently got from the farmer's market. i'm not going to peelthese. they're nice and tiny,
and they'll be just fine. and then i'm goingto cut up about a pound of small red potatoes. i'm going to cut theminto bite-size pieces and go ahead and toss them in here. what am i goingto do next? i'm going to add a massive quantity of garlic to this becausei want to prevent all the vampires i can from stopping at my house. then i'm going to chop up some shallots. nowif you don't have shallots, onions work really, really well, too. nowif i was using onions, i would do those in a slightly larger dice. i love theway onions turn when they get all nice and roasted. then i'm going to pourin enough oil to kind of cover
everything up. then i'm going to add a sprigof rosemary; this is optional. salt and pepper. we're just going to givethis a nice stir. and then i'm going to take a couple of lemons. i'm firstgoing to zest those. then i'm going to cut them in half. i'm going to juicethem, and i'm going to put both of the halves of lemon into this mixture.i just love the way lemon brings out all sorts of flavors. now i'm going to put these into a baking dish.preheat your oven to about 425 degrees, and we're going to bake these.the larger the dish, the better this is because it gives the chance for allthe vegetables to become
roasted, nice and brown. for the first stepfor this, we really just want the veggies to kind of cook up, so we're goingto put foil on here for the first 35 minutes or so. we're going to removethe foil. then we're going to add our cut up chicken pieces. i always loveto cut up leg quarters myself. it's really easy to do, and you can save acouple of pennies doing that. and who doesn't like to save money? now i've just kind of put a little bit ofbutter over my chicken and salt and pepper to give it a little bit of flavor.then i'm going to put this back into the oven for about 35 to 40 minutesor until the chicken's done.
how do you know when chicken's done? whenyou pierce it and the juices come out clear. there you go. there are some deliciousroasted chicken thighs. so be sure to try this one out. and always,be sure to rate, comment, and subscribe so you can see what's cooking next.
