Rustic Garlic Chicken with Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Not pretty but pretty tasty! 

Ingredients:

2 tbsps vegetable oil

4 chicken legs, split

salt and pepper to taste

20 garlic cloves

2 tbsps flour

1 3/4 cups chicken broth

1 tsp fresh chopped rosemary

1/2 tsp dry sage

1 tbsp butter

4 potatoes, quartered

butter and milk for mashed potatoes

In a Dutch oven heat vegetable oil to medium high. Dry the chicken pieces with paper toweling, salt and pepper them then lightly brown in oil about 8 minutes. Remove to a plate. Keep some fat in the pan but discard the excess.

On medium heat add the garlic and cook just until golden, about 2-3 minutes. Sprinkle flour over the garlic and add 1 cup broth. Stir together then return the chicken to the pan.

Cover and bake in a 400°F oven for 20 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165°F.

While chicken bakes boil the potatoes. 

Once the chicken is cooked remove 1/2 the garlic and set aside. Now with the Dutch oven on medium high heat stir in the remaining broth, rosemary, sage, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil then reduce heat and simmer for 5-10 minutes. Remove from heat and add the butter.

Mash the potatoes and add some butter and milk then mash in the reserved garlic cloves.

Serves 4
