Baked chicken with apples and onions

Delicious fall dinner - fall-off-the-bone meat, soft, jammy apples, and sweet caramelized onions.

📝 Ingredients

• 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)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Preheat 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. 2Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper. It's important to season it on the outside and under the skin.
3. 3Quarter and core the apples.
4. 4Cut the onions into thick slices.
5. 5Place the chicken legs, apples and onions in a big baking dish or a sheet pan.
6. 6Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken.
7. 7Add a couple of twigs rosemary.
8. 8Bake 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. 9My favorite way to serve this is with mashed potatoes.
