Smothered Savory Chicken Thighs
I love an easy marinade! Whether you substitute lime for lemon, jalapeno for poblano or onion for garlic, a quick blend and your protein of choice will be moist and full of flavor!
8 chicken thighs, with skin, pierced all over with a small knife
1 large clove elephant garlic, peeled
1 /2-inch piece fresh ginger root, peeled
1 large poblano pepper, seeded,
Juice and zest of 1 whole lemon
2 tablespoons Stonewall Country Ketchup
½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
1 teaspoon cumin powder
1 teaspoon coriander seeds or ground coriander
Put chicken thighs in a bowl. Rogh chop garlic, ginger and pepper. Toss with all remaining ingredients in a small food processor or blender, and grind to a paste. (It is O.K. if the coriander seeds are not fully pulverized. They will add a little crunch.)
Rub mixture thoroughly into chicken. At this point, you can cover, and refrigerate for up to a day.
Heat oven to 400 degrees. Put thighs, skin side up, in a roasting pan. Roast for 35 to 45 minutes or until done.
