Preparation time: 20 minutes Cooking time: 1 hour Total time: 1 hour 20 minutes Number of servings: 4-6 Ingredients For the chicken: - 6-8 chicken thighs (choose upper thighs for more flavor) - 3 small carrots (for a sweet flavor and beautiful color) - 1 parsley root - 1 onion (for a rich taste) - 250 g pineapple compote (you can use fresh pineapple if you prefer) - 2 tablespoons chili sauce (helps intensify the flavors) - 50 g honey (to balance the spiciness) - 100 ml dry white wine (adds a touch of elegance) - 30 g tomato paste - 1 hot pepper (optional, for those who love heat) - 50 g butter (for frying the thighs) - Salt and pepper to taste For the golden potatoes: - 1 kg new potatoes (choose smaller ones for better texture) - 2 teaspoons turmeric (for a vibrant golden color and nutritional benefits) - 4 tablespoons soy sauce - Olive oil (for cooking) - 1 onion (for flavor) - 4 cloves of garlic (crushed, for extra flavor) - Thyme and oregano (to add a Mediterranean taste) - Salt and pepper to taste Preparation Step 1: Prepare the vegetables Peel and wash the carrots and parsley root. Cut them into large pieces and boil them in a pot of salted water for about 30 minutes. These vegetables will provide a flavorful base for your sauce. Once boiled, drain them and keep the broth. Step 2: Fry the chicken thighs In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chicken thighs and lightly fry them on both sides until golden. This step is essential to seal in the juices of the meat and give it a delicious crust. Step 3: Prepare the spicy sauce In a bowl, combine the white wine, honey, chili sauce, tomato paste, hot pepper, boiled vegetables, and 1.5 cups of the reserved broth. Mix all the ingredients well. This combination will create a thick and flavorful sauce that will coat the chicken thighs. Step 4: Cook the chicken with the sauce Pour the prepared sauce over the fried chicken thighs and add the pineapple chunks from the compote. If you want a more pronounced pineapple flavor, add about 100 ml of the pineapple juice. Cover the skillet and let everything simmer on low heat for 30-40 minutes, until the thighs are well cooked and the sauce has thickened. Step 5: Prepare the golden potatoes Meanwhile, peel the potatoes and cut them in half if they are too large. Boil them in salted water for 5 minutes, then drain. In a separate skillet, heat olive oil and add the chopped onion, crushed garlic, turmeric, soy sauce, thyme, and oregano. Add the potatoes and mix them well in the aromatic sauce. Cook them on low heat for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become golden and crispy. Step 6: Serving On a large platter, arrange the chicken thighs with their delicious sauce alongside the golden potatoes. To complete the meal, serve with sun-dried pickles or a fresh vegetable salad. This combination will not only delight the taste buds but will also add a contrast of textures and flavors. Tips and useful advice - If you want to personalize this recipe, you can add other vegetables to the sauce, such as bell peppers or zucchini, for extra color and nutrition. - You can replace the chicken thighs with chicken breast if you prefer leaner meat, but the cooking time will be reduced. - Make sure the chicken is well cooked before serving; the internal temperature should reach 75°C. - If you like spicier sauces, you can add more hot peppers or even a little sriracha sauce.
