Roasted citrus fruit (alongside savoury ingredients) are great in the winter. Citrus is in all the groceries and is lovely and juicy, and the shallots and the chicken both take on the tart sweetness.
Yield: Serves 4
Chicken Thighs With Tangerine, Shallots and Garlic
Ingredients
- 4 chicken thighs
- 4 tangerines, halved
- 2 shallots, peeled and halved
- 5 garlic cloves, halved
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
1. Set oven temperature to 350 F. Place chicken thighs in a cast-iron skillet, squeeze 1 halved tangerine over each chicken thigh and then place thigh on top of a halved shallot. Top each thigh with garlic and season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Place remaining halved tangerines around the thighs.
2. Roast until chicken thighs reach an internal temperature of 160 F, about 30 minutes. Squeeze as much juice from the tangerines, as you can, onto the cooked chicken and then serve with roasted shallots and a crisp green salad.
