Instructions

Chicken thighs and red cabbage salad

0

Preheat the oven to 180Β°C.

1

In a small bowl, mix the sweet paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper. Coat the chicken thighs with olive oil and season them on both sides with the spice mixture.

2

Place the chicken thighs in a pot with a lid, greased with a little olive oil. Cover with the lid and bake in the oven for 40 minutes.

3

Meanwhile, you can prepare the red cabbage salad. Slice the red cabbage and place it in a large bowl. Sprinkle with salt and gently massage with your hands for 1-2 minutes, until it starts to soften and release its juices.

4

Add the apple cider vinegar (or lemon juice), then mix well.

5

Pour in the oil and mix again to evenly distribute the ingredients.

6

Let the salad sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.

7

After 40 minutes, remove the lid, flip the chicken, and return it to the oven for 20 minutes, uncovered.

8

Flip the chicken again and bake for another 20 minutes, until it becomes golden and crispy.

10

Place the potatoes, cut into large pieces, in a pot with cold water and add 1 teaspoon of salt.

11

Boil over medium heat for 20-25 minutes, until the potatoes are soft (check with a fork).

12
Drain the water and mash the potatoes while they are still hot, using a potato masher or a manual press.
13

Add the butter, cut into cubes, and mix until it is completely melted.

14

Gradually pour in the warm milk, stirring continuously, until the mashed potatoes become creamy and fluffy. Taste and add salt as needed.

15

Place the mashed potatoes on a plate, then add the golden-brown chicken thigh on top or beside it. Add the red cabbage salad next to the mashed potatoes for a contrast of textures and flavors.
