Recipe history Baked chicken drumsticks are a classic dish that has long been appreciated for its simplicity and versatility. Over the decades, each generation has adapted the recipe to the tastes and ingredients available. Today, this recipe combines tradition with innovation, using fresh vegetables and spices that give it a special taste. Ingredients: - 4 whole chicken thighs - 2 potatoes - 2 carrots - 1 zucchini (about 150 g) - 2 tomatoes - 2 bell peppers (red and yellow for a vibrant look) - 4-5 cloves garlic - 50 g celery - A few sprigs of fresh parsley - Optional: a few green bean pods - 20 ml oil - 2 tbsp olive oil - 50 ml white wine (or a combination of water with 2 tsp vinegar and 1 tsp sugar) - Salt, pepper, paprika, paprika, thyme, curry (1 teaspoon or 1 cube mushroom or chicken concentrate) Ingredient tips: - Choose skin-on chicken thighs, these will brown nicely and add extra flavor. - Vegetables can be customized according to your preferences or the season. For example, you can add zucchini or eggplant instead of other vegetables. - White wine adds a unique flavor, but if you prefer a non-alcoholic version, you can use vinegar and sugar water, which will provide a nice balance of acidity. Preparation steps: 1. Preparing the vegetables: Start by cleaning and washing the vegetables. Cut the potatoes and carrots into large chunks and the zucchini into rounds. Peel the tomatoes (you can do this easily by submerging them in boiling water for a few seconds) and cut into quarters. Remove the seeds from the peppers and cut into strips. The celery can be diced or sliced, depending on preference. 2. Preparing the meat: Rinse the chicken thighs under cold running water and cut them in half at the joint between the bone and the meat. In a bowl, season the meat with salt, pepper, paprika and, optionally, a concentrated cube of mushrooms or chicken for a more intense flavor. 3. Arranging in the tray: In a deep tray, place the prepared vegetables, then add the chicken thighs. Drizzle them with the olive oil and add enough water to cover the vegetables by 3/4. Cover the pan with aluminum foil to retain moisture. 4. Initial baking: Place the tray in the preheated oven at 160°C (low heat) and bake for one hour. This will allow the meat to tenderize and the vegetables to soften. 5. Adding flavour: Remove the pan from the oven, remove the aluminium foil and add the garlic cloves, unpeeled but lightly crushed with the back of a knife, and the wine (or the vinegar-sugar-water mixture). Taste the juices in the pan and adjust the taste with salt, pepper or other seasonings to taste. 6. Finishing the dish: Sprinkle the finely chopped fresh greens over the vegetables and meat, then return the pan to the oven, uncovered, for another 30-40 minutes. Check occasionally to make sure the juices don't run too low. 7. To serve: When the meat is very tender and the vegetables are cooked, remove the tray from the oven. Carefully arrange the vegetables and meat on a platter. You can garnish with lettuce leaves and sprinkle with a little curry and thyme for a more appetizing look. If you like, you can thicken the sauce in the pan with two teaspoons of flour, stirring it on the stove with a whisk. Serve the sauce separately in a sauce dish. 8. Serving suggestions: This dish goes perfectly with a fresh salad or a side of rice. A glass of white wine will also complement the flavor perfectly. Frequently asked questions: 1. Can I use other meats? Yes, you can replace chicken thighs with whole chicken or pork, but the cooking time will vary. 2. What other vegetables can I add? Broccoli, cauliflower or peas are excellent choices. Each vegetable will add a different touch to the dish. 3. How can I spice it up? Add chili peppers or chili flakes for a spicy kick. Nutritional benefits: This recipe is high in protein, thanks to the chicken, and contains a variety of vitamins and minerals from the vegetables. Olive oil provides healthy fatty acids and garlic is known for its antioxidant properties. Calories: One serving of this recipe contains about 400-500 calories, depending on the amount of oil and toppings added. Possible variations: - You can use different spices such as cumin or smoked paprika for a different flavor. - Instead of white wine, you can add beer for a unique flavor. - If you prefer a more savory dish, add rice or pasta to the pan, being careful to adjust the liquid. At the end, remember to enjoy every bite! Baked chicken drumsticks with baked vegetables are not only a delicious dish, but also an opportunity to get together with loved ones and create beautiful memories. Enjoy!
