Yum Yum Baked Chicken

[kotturinn]

In the end of the day all they want is some meat and mashed potatoes.

Not your typical Valentine's day recipe today because I ain't get no cakes or chocolate covered strawberries, sadly (or luckily). Actually it is a huge turn off for me when it comes to chocolate covered fruits or berries. I prefer them the way the are, just like my chocolate, I eat it straight too. Simple!

Ingredients:

• 4-6 drumsticks (or some breast meat);
• 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar;
• 1/4 cup brown sugar;
• 3-4 garlic cloves (minced);
• black pepper to taste;
• italian spices to taste.

Veggie side:

• carrots;
• broccoli florets;
• olive oil;
• salt, pepper to taste.

Directions:

Combine all of the ingredients in a bowl and pour into a ziploc bag, add in chicken and let it marinate for about 40 minutes to an hour in the fridge.
Preheat your oven to 400 F and bake for about 30 minutes (or until fully cooked).

To prepare the veggie side, spread carrots and broccoli florets on a baking sheet, drizzle some olive oil on top, sprinkle some salt and pepper and bake at 400 F for about 15 minutes, flip the vegetables if needed to make sure they don't burn.

This is way better than the Valentine's basics! Those things are not good. I usually like fried chicken, but your photography is too appetizing ;)

[kotturinn]

Thanks! Just go throw some chicken in the oven :D

[ats-david]

Wow...that looks delicious! I'd have to leave out the sugar, but I bet it would still be quite tasty without it.

[kotturinn]

Thank you! I think it was the first time I actually used sugar for baking chicken, it didn't make it sweet though :)

Ooh, this is right up my alley. I can be such a simple eater sometimes. My mother made chicken legs growing up, so they are quite a nostalgic experience.

Also, Happy Valentine's Day 💓

[kotturinn]

Thank you :D

I hope you had an amazing V-day too!

Chicken on the bone was very popular in my home growing up too haha

@kotturinn i really live the simplicity of your dish. I do like my chicken and the dressing with balsamic vinegar with garlic is heaven.You actually cook the veggies like me.I like mine with a bit of crunch.I prefer to oven bake rather then boil.Taste much sweeter and smokier.Love your photo of your dish👍❤

[kotturinn]

Thank you. I do boil veggies sometimes when I make soups, but yeah, boiling them for a side dish just destroys all the flavors!

[pamcooks]

It really does.I only like to boil peas👍🏼.Cannot oven them😂.But boiling you loose alot of the goodness too.

[kotturinn]

Hmm, I don't think I've ever cooked fresh peas, usually I would use dry peas for sups and canned ones for whatever. What do you boil your peas for?

[pamcooks]

My peas are normally boiled in my potatoe curry or stews i make. The kids love picking them out the pods for me.You can even use the pod skins they have a really sweet taste and very good for you👍🏼
