Time 1h40m

Number Of Ingredients 10

24 ounces baby potatoes, halved
3 cloves garlic, smashed
1/2 small red onion, sliced
1/4 cup olive oil, divided
1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
1 teaspoon dried thyme, divided

  • Place seasoned thighs on top of potatoes in a single layer, skin-side up, and return to the oven for 40 minutes.
  • Add drained peas, tucking them down around the chicken, and cook another 15-20 minutes, until warmed.
  • Serve chicken with crusty bread for dunking into the pan juices, if desired.

BAKED CHICKEN WITH ONIONS AND PEAS



Baked Chicken With Onions and Peas image

I like the flavor of the soy, Worcestershire and garlic gives the chicken. And I love the way the peas caramelize in the oven. Over white rice this is delicious! You can use less peas but I always make extra since they always seem to disappear.

Provided by Joanne

Categories     Poultry

Time 1h30m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

18 pieces chicken (I use drumsticks and thighs and wings)
1 cup white vinegar
8 cups water
3 tablespoons salt
2 teaspoons fresh ground pepper
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 limes, juice of
1 tablespoon oregano
10 garlic cloves, smashed in a mortar and pestle (or finely chopped)
4 (15 ounce) cans sweet peas, drained
1/2 cup olive oil
1 onion, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • In large bowl soak chicken in water, and vinegar for about 10 minutes. Rinse well, trim excess skin and pat dry. This step is optional it's just how I clean chicken.
  • Place chicken in a large zip lock bag or large bowl. To chicken add 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons salt (or to taste) and 1 teaspoons black pepper, garlic, oregano, lime juice, soy and Worcestershire sauce. Mix well, let marinade for at least an hour (overnight is best).
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees f.
  • Place chicken skin side down in casserole dish large enough to leave some space between the chicken pieces. I bought one large aluminum tray. Pour remaining marinade over chicken. Bake for 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place peas and onions in a large bowl. Season with 1 tablespoon of salt (or to taste) and 1 teaspoons pepper, and 1/4 cup of olive oil. Toss to coat.
  • After 20 minutes, remove chicken from oven and add the peas and onions. Turn chicken so that the skin side is up, and make sure the chicken is sitting on top of the peas so that the skin can brown. Raise oven temperature to 400 degrees and Cook for about 30 to 40 minutes or until chicken is fully cooked. I served this with my white rice recipe http://www.food.com/recipe/white-rice-503045.
  • Hope you enjoy!

SHEET-PAN CHICKEN WITH RHUBARB AND RED ONION



Sheet-Pan Chicken With Rhubarb and Red Onion image

This easy yet robust dish celebrates rhubarb's savory side. Here, a bit of honey, some sliced sweet red onion and the rich juices of roasted chicken thighs and drumsticks temper its tartness. Serve this dish with a crackly baguette or some rice to catch the tangy sauce at the bottom of the pan. It's the best part.

Categories     weekday, poultry, main course

Time 45m

Yield 3 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 3/4 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs and drumsticks (see Tip)
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal), plus more as needed
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more as needed
1 large red onion, cut into 1/2-inch-thick wedges
5 thyme sprigs
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more as needed
8 ounces rhubarb stalks, sliced into 1/2-inch pieces (about 2 cups)
3 tablespoons honey, plus more to taste
1/2 cup cilantro or mint leaves and tender stems, torn

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees and line sheet pan with parchment paper. Pat chicken dry with paper towels and season all over with coriander, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
  • Place onion wedges on the prepared sheet pan and lightly season with more salt and pepper. Add chicken and thyme sprigs to the pan and drizzle 3 tablespoons oil over everything. Toss until well coated, then spread chicken and onions in a single layer. Roast for 10 minutes.
  • While the chicken is in the oven, combine rhubarb and 3 tablespoons honey in a medium bowl. Lightly drizzle with oil, add a pinch of salt and pepper, and toss until rhubarb is well coated.
  • Remove chicken from oven and carefully spoon rhubarb onto the hot pan around the onions and chicken. Continue roasting until the chicken is cooked through, and the rhubarb and onion are tender and caramelized, 25 to 35 minutes longer, tossing the rhubarb and onions (not the chicken) once about halfway through.
  • Stir the rhubarb and onions very well, making sure to incorporate all the browned bits and chicken juices from the bottom of the pan (this is the tastiest part). Then sample a piece of rhubarb. If it's very tart, drizzle with a little more honey, tossing well. Serve chicken with rhubarb-onion mixture garnished with herbs.
