Once again, it's Help Cora Make Dinner time!

This time, I have some chicken thighs I'd like to use. Also a vegetable side would be good. (I'll pick a starch appropriate to the combination, hence no starch poll.)

A note before we begin: I know that "curry seasonings" isn't a thing, nor is "Moroccan seasonings." I used those as shorthands, so I wouldn't have to type in a whole list of spices (and probably hit the character limit).

If you have a Better Idea, feel free to leave it in the comments.

Another note: if I roast the chicken, it will have minimalist seasonings (ie, it will taste mostly like chicken) and have a crispy skin. If I bake, it will have heavier/wetter seasonings, and won't be as crisp, although there may still be some crispiness. If I braise, we're talking mondo seasonings and totally moist/not-crispy chicken. (Biryani is its own thing, of course.)

(Dessert will be baked apples with cream, if we're hungry enough for dessert.)

My favorite way to do chicken thighs is from my mom's Chinese friend Xiao-May. You remove the skins, then put white wine, cheap soysauce (quite a lot), about an inch or two of sliced ginger, several cloves of garlic, in a small bowl or dish in the oven and bake it. The liquid should cover the chicken to start, but should boil off some to reveal it. About halfway through the cooking time, turn the chicken over. I usually bake it for at least an hour--it's a good lazy day meal when you don't have a firm timeline and are puttering at other things. Just an option! Great with any green veg and fresh rice.

Oooh, that sounds marvelous!

It's really yummy! I like to make a couple of extra thighs and then use the leftover meat for fried rice the next day. Delish!

Do you use bone in?

[vom-marlowe.livejournal.com]

Yes! It's tastier with bone in. Mmmm.

I figured, but I thought I would double check. It sounds pretty good to me.

I wonder if you could do it in a slow cooker...

[vom-marlowe.livejournal.com]

It's one of my favorite recipes.

I've never tried it in the slow cooker, but I don't see why not!
