Crispy chicken

An 'all in one pot' favourite. Sliced new potatoes and unpeeled garlic cloves are tossed in hot oil, thyme and black pepper

Browned chicken thighes are rested on top, and then a couple of glasses of Amontillado sherry are added

Into the oven for about 50 minutes - the chicken sits on the potatoes, and is steamed from beneath, and crispy on the top; the potatoes cook in the chicken juices and the sherry

Is there a full recipe for this online anywhere? Looks like a great weeknight dinner!

Sorry - can't find the recipe online - it was from an Olive magazine about 3 years ago!

If you want I can email it to you (just let me know the address), but to be honest it's a fairly forgiving recipe. I do 4 - 5 mid sized new potatoes per person, and slice them lengthways once or twice each. A whole head of garlic, cloves separated and unpeeled, 2 chicken thighs per person, and about 250ml Amontillado sherry. Cooking is at 180ish (fan) for about 45 minutes, but I check from 30 minutes onwards, giving the potatoes a bit of a stir, and checking the chicken is cooked with a skewer if I'm not sure.

We tend to serve it just with a quick green salad, although it also goes well with spinach.
