Crisp-tender chicken cooked low and slow with baby red potatoes for a full meal! So easy and effortless!
Happy almost Memorial Day!
I hope you all have special plans for the next few days, sun-bathing by the pool with a margarita in hand.
Butters and I are contemplating driving up to San Francisco for a few days, but after that Paris trip, I’m not so sure if Butters and I are ready for another getaway just yet.
But while you guys are by the pool, I might be home all day on Monday with this.
Crisp-tender chicken thighs cooked low and slow right alongside some baby red potatoes before they’re tossed in freshly grated Parmesan.
Now. Two things here. I know some of you only like white meat. Sure, chicken breast can be substituted but I found that bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs are best here, especially with that initial sear to really let the flavors seep in and caramelize.
Also, if you are using massively-large red potatoes, you can cut them into quarters or even eighths.
Most importantly. Please use freshly grated Parmesan cheese. And don’t skimp!!! You know the drill. The more the better.
