As always in my recipes, this is a simple inspiration. You can change the ingredients to suit your taste.

In the anti-waste approach which is very important to us, note that the sauce that remains at the bottom of the dish can easily be kept for 24 hours in the refrigerator and can be used as a base for the preparation of a delicious pasta dish the next day.

Preparation

1) Place the chicken thighs in a dish and surround them with potatoes, carrots, onions, quinces and / or apples, or other fruits or vegetables of your choice previously cut. Add pepper and lemon thyme. Cut a few slices of untreated lemon and place them directly on the chicken thighs with the bay leaves.

​

2) To give a unique flavor to your dish:

Infuse 1 tablespoon of tea in 500 ml of water at 95 ° for 3 minutes. Add an old rum or another alcohol of your choice with the previously infused tea and pour the whole into the dish over the chicken thighs surrounded by fruits and vegetables. in the center of the dish

​

3) Bake everything in an oven previously heated to 120 ° C. It is better to turn off the hot air function if your oven allows it, otherwise, it is better to make this dish in a casserole dish. For optimal cooking, the dish should be covered.

Leave to cook for about 2h30. To reduce the cooking time, you can first sear the chicken thighs for 3 to 4 minutes in a pan or increase the temperature to 150 ° C at the end of cooking.
