Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to bake chicken thighs with potatoes? Prepare the necessary ingredients. The thighs on the bone can be cut in half, or you can leave them whole, just remove the tail part along with the glands, if any. I had thighs without bone and skin, which can be cut in half or not cut at all, they will be baked well anyway. I didnʼt cut it, I just cleaned off some excess fat. The red sweet onion can be replaced with shallots or regular onions.
