Baked chicken with apples and onions

Ingrédients

• 6 chicken legs (skin-on, bone-in)
• 3 apples (I used Golden Delicious)
• 3 onions
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• couple twigs rosemary (or thyme)
• salt and pepper (to taste)
• apple cider or water (optionally, see the notes*)
• mashed potatoes (to serve)

Préparation

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 375°F/190°C/Gas Mark 5, no fan (if you have a convection oven reduce the temperature by about 20°).

2. 2

   Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper. It's important to season it on the outside and under the skin.

3. 3

   Quarter and core the apples.

4. 4

   Cut the onions into thick slices.

5. 5

   Place the chicken legs, apples and onions in a big baking dish or a sheet pan.

6. 6

   Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken.

7. 7

   Add a couple of twigs rosemary.

8. 8

   Bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes, then turn on the fan OR increase the temperature by 20° OR place the baking dish under the broiler and bake for about 5-15 minutes (depending on the setting) until the chicken is lightly browned.

9. 9

   My favorite way to serve this is with mashed potatoes.
