Marinating the meat not only gives it a rich flavor but also helps tenderize it. Combining it with fresh and aromatic vegetables grilled makes this recipe a healthy and tasty choice. The history of grilled vegetables dates back centuries, being a popular way to preserve and enhance their taste. Step-by-Step Instructions Step 1: Marinating the Thighs 1. Preparing the marinade: In a large bowl, combine the white wine, soy sauce, chopped garlic, thyme, BBQ spices, ground rosemary, ginger, allspice, chilli, and pepper. Mix well until you obtain a homogeneous marinade. 2. Preparing the meat: Cut the chicken thighs in half and add them to the bowl with the marinade. Ensure that each piece is well coated with the marinade. 3. Waiting time: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (ideally 4-6 hours or even overnight). Step 2: Preparing the Potatoes 1. Cleaning and cutting: After the thighs have marinated, clean the new potatoes and cut them into quarters. 2. Assembling in the tray: In a large tray lined with baking paper, place the cut potatoes. Add a little chopped parsley and drizzle with a bit of olive oil. Mix well to coat the potatoes with oil and spices. Step 3: Baking the Thighs and Potatoes 1. Adding the thighs: Place the marinated thighs on top of the potatoes in the tray. Pour the remaining marinade over the meat and potatoes. 2. Final seasoning: Sprinkle a little chilli on the thighs for an extra flavor kick. 3. Baking: Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F) and bake the dish for 45 minutes, until the thighs are browned and the potatoes are tender. Step 4: Preparing the Grilled Vegetables 1. Cutting the vegetables: Meanwhile, wash and dry the zucchini and eggplants, then cut them into thick slices of about 1 cm. 2. The grill: Heat the grill to medium temperature. Brush the vegetable slices with a little olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. 3. Cooking: Place the vegetables on the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until they become tender and have grill marks. Step 5: Preparing the Garlic Sauce 1. The sauce: In a bowl, add 3-4 crushed garlic cloves, a tablespoon of salt, and a few tablespoons of water. Mix well until you obtain a homogeneous paste. This is the base of the garlic sauce. 2. Serving: After the vegetables are ready, drizzle a few tablespoons of the sauce over them for an intense flavor. Serving Serve the chicken thighs with the browned potatoes and grilled vegetables alongside the garlic sauce. You can add a fresh salad for an extra touch of freshness. Variations and Tips - Meat variations: You can replace chicken thighs with turkey thighs or even tofu for a vegetarian option. - Various vegetables: Experiment with other vegetables such as bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms that pair perfectly with grilling. - Advance preparation: Marinating the meat a day in advance will intensify the flavors. Frequently Asked Questions - Can I use red wine instead of white wine?: Yes, but choose a lighter red wine so it doesn't overpower the meat's flavor. - What else can I add to the sauce?: You can add a teaspoon of lemon juice for a fresher taste. - How can I store leftovers?: You can store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days.
