slow baked red wine chicken with fingerling potatoes

07:08 0 Comments

A little side warning before I share the recipe – once you open the oven to take the chicken out your entire house will smell like red wine. Since the chicken is both marinated and cooked in red wine, the smell will be intoxicating, but in a good way.


Ingredients
  • 8-10 chicken drumsticks
  • 3/4 cup red wine (Merlot or Pinot Noir are my choices)
  • 1X14oz can small diced tomatoes
  • 1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
  • 2-3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 5-8 garlic cloves
  • salt, pepper
  • 2-3 pounds fingerling potatoes

Instructions
In a ziplock bag add the chicken drumsticks along with the red wine, diced tomatoes, worcestershire sauce, brown sugar and garlic cloves. Season with salt and pepper and place the bag in the fridge for a couple of hours (2 to 6 hours)
Heat the oven to 325F.
Dump the chicken drumsticks along with the red wine marinade in a shallow roasting pan.
Arrange the fingerling potatoes in the pan and bake, covered in the preheated oven for 90 minutes.
Open the oven, uncover the pan and increase the oven's temperature to 350F.
Continue to bake the chicken for 30 to 45 minutes or until soft and tender.
Remove from the oven and serve warm.

Notes
Update ~Here~

Some say he’s half man half fish, others say he’s more of a seventy/thirty split. Either way he’s a fishy bastard.
