There is a storm on the horizon at the minute, but I managed to get a load of washing out and dried, so I am snug in the house with the dinner on. Tonight I am cooking a favourite of mine: Spicy Chicken Thighs with Garlic and Rosemary Sweet Potatoes, Roast Salted Kale and steamed veggies.
I love chicken thighs, they are the cheapest cut of chicken and yet very versatile. I roast them with the skin still on, but you can use them in many different ways.
Spicy Chicken Thighs:
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder or 1 teaspoon of garlic purée
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground pepper
- 8 boneless chicken thighs
- Oil (rapeseed)
- 6 tablespoons honey
- 2 teaspoons cider vinegar (My father is a cider producer, nothing quite like REAL cider vinegar - I cannot get enough of the stuff)
I served this up with sweet potatoes that has been roasted (when the oven is going stick everything in) in a little oil, rosemary, salt, garlic powder and a pinch of cinnamon. I roasted the kale (5-8 minutes, I like my veg with a bit of bite) with a little oil and salt, and steamed some veg in the microwave.
In other news I managed to buy a bar of Carbolic Soap for 50c in a bric-a-brac shop in town. All in all I have has a great weekend (I haven't quite done enough school work, but the night is young! And the countdown is most definitely on for the midterm break!)
