One-Pan Sage-and-Onion Chicken and Sausage image

Provided by Nigella Lawson : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 13h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 large onion or 2 small onions
1/2 cup olive oil (not extra-virgin)
2 teaspoons English mustard
1 tablespoon dried sage
Freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 lemon
1 (4-pound) chicken, jointed into 10 pieces
12 sausages
2 tablespoons fresh sage leaves, chopped

Steps:

  • Peel and cut the onion into eighths, and put into a freezer bag with the oil, mustard, dried sage, a good grinding of pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Cut lemon in half, squeeze juice into bag, and then cut the halves into eighths and add them. Squidge everything around to mix (the mustard needs help to combine) and then add the chicken pieces. Leave to marinade in the refrigerator overnight, or for up to 2 days.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Allow the chicken to come to room temperature in its marinade.
  • Arrange the chicken pieces in a roasting tin skin side up with the marinade, including all the bits and pieces, and tuck the sausages around them. Sprinkle the fresh sage leaves over the chicken and sausages and then put the tin into the oven to cook for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Turn the sausages over half way through to color them evenly.
  • Arrange the chicken and sausages on a large platter.

Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

CHICKEN, SAUSAGE, PEPPERS, AND POTATOES



Chicken, Sausage, Peppers, and Potatoes image

You'll need a large, heavy-duty roasting pan (or a couple of smaller ones) and a very hot oven for this delicious dish. The long oven time makes everything beautifully caramelized and the chicken fork tender.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Chicken Thigh Recipes

Time 1h30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 large links hot Italian sausage
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
6 bone-in, skin on chicken thighs
½ pound assorted sweet peppers, seeded
1 small red onion, sliced
½ yellow onion, sliced
4 large Yukon Gold potatoes, quartered
2 teaspoons dried Italian herbs
2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more as needed
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon Chopped fresh Italian parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook sausage links until browned and oil begins to render, about 3 minutes per side. While sausages are cooking, pierce them lightly here and there with the tip of a sharp knife so some fats and juices are released. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  • When sausages are cool enough to handle, cut them into serving pieces, about 2-inch slices. Transfer back to pan along with any accumulated juices from the cutting board.
  • Cut two slashes down to the bone on the skin side of each chicken thigh.
  • Depending on the size of the peppers, halve or quarter them and place in a large mixing bowl. Add the sliced red and yellow onions and potato chunks. Add chicken thighs and sausage pieces with pan juices.
  • Season with kosher salt, black pepper, and Italian herbs. Drizzle with a tablespoon of olive oil.
  • Mix with your hands until all ingredients are coated in oil, 3 or 4 minutes. Transfer to large, heavy-duty roasting pan. Evenly space the chicken thighs skin side up. Position potatoes near the top.
  • Place in preheated oven until chicken is cooked through and everything is caramelized, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Sprinkle with chopped fresh Italian parsley, if desired.
