EASY WEEKNIGHT CHICKEN RECIPE

Ingredients

RECIPE

  • 4 Chicken Thighs Bone-In
  • 4-5 Chicken Drumsticks
  • Head of Garlic peeled
  • Olive Oil I just eye it. I would say 2-3 tablespoons
  • Container of Cherry Tomatoes whole
  • Big Container of Basil
  • Salt and Pepper

Instructions

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees
  2. Basically all I do is pour some olive oil in the bottom of my DUTCH OVEN.
  3. Then, I add about 4 bone-in chicken thighs and 4-5 chicken drumsticks on top.
  4. I cover with pink salt and pepper and more olive oil.
  5. I throw in a whole head of peeled garlic. I just toss the little (whole) garlic pieces all around the dish, so they are evenly distributed.
  6. I toss a container of cherry tomatoes on top (whole) and then take a whole bunch of basil (stems chopped off) and throw that on top.
  7. I bake at 325 degrees for about an hour and a half, or until the chicken is done.
  8. Bake with the lid on.
  9. Halfway through, you can mix it around. Sometimes, I do this, sometimes I forget. Either way, it's just as good! But the mixing helps get more of the juices evenly distributed!
  10. I usually serve with a veggie and salad or a starch. Last night, I served it with roasted butternut squash and wild rice. It was delicious!
