I'm a crappy photographer, so be gentle.
>>
first season the chicken with some salt and black pepper, be sure to get both sides.
i tried doing something fancy with the thighs and utterly failed lol
>>
slice mushrooms
dice onion and garlic
peel potatoes
drink a glass of wine and smoke some bud
>>
dogs say hi
>>
boil potatoes
>>
now the fun part starts, chicken and the sauce.
sear the chicken
>>
turn chicken when skin becomes a bit crispy
>>
take chicken out
put in onion and garlic
>>
add bacon
>>
now it's time for the mushrooms
>>
i used this to season
salt
black pepper
bayleaf
thyme
the garlic is already in there
>>
time for the sauce itself
a glass of red wine
beef stock
tomato cubes
dijon mustard
>>
first the red wine
cook off the alcohol
>>
Keep going op, I'm interested in how it turns out
>>
then add the dijon mustard
>>
now add the beef stock
>>7698095
i will, took quite a lot of pics...following each step
>>
add tomato cubes
>>
and finally put the chicken back in
now let it simmer for about 20 minutes
you can either choose to put a lid on it or not.
i chose not to, to let the sauce lose some of it's liquid.
>>
>>7698033
Degenerate
Fuck off
>>
>>7698113
so many different flavors. this is called hunter chicken? you say this is the first time you made this, would you change anything next time?
>>
by now your potatoes should be done boiling,
we'll need almost the entire 20 minutes the chicken is simmering to make some creamy mashed potatoes.
add lots of butter and mash those potatoes
>>
put all the mash on one side of the pot and add milk like so
>>7698122
wouldn't change a thing, it turned out amazing desu
you can make the same sauce for schnitzels without the tomato...it's a german classic
>>
warm up the milk and add these spices to the milk, this is important it's in the milk and not in the mash.
salt
white pepper
nutmeg
>>
cook out as much water as possible, it should look like a thick light brownish paste
don't be afraid to burn the milk, just adjust your heating if it gets too much for you.
>>
i set up my pot, on the smallest fire on my stove, like this so i don't burn the mashed potatoes while cooking the water out of the milk
>>
and mashed potatoes are done
i already scooped out a bit
as you can see, no burns
>>
chicken is done too
>>
vuwallah
hunter chicken with mashed potatoes!
>>
a close up
>>
Your presentation sucks but it seems pretty tasty
>>
>>7698255
I honestly don't think there's much more he could have done in regards to presentation. It's potatoes and chicken. Unless he wanted to add some edible garnish to the dish there's seriously not much that could be done with it.
>>
>>7698255
Imagine being this much of a pretentious dickhead.
>>
Looking good OP.

This. Thread hidden.

last bump and i'll let this die
>>
>>7698176
Looks delicious OP, and a very simple recipe too. I think I might try this out, I have everything in the fridge. Interesting technique with the mashed potatoes, I have never seen them cooked at the same time with the milk and everything.
Did your wife like it?
>>
>>7698403
you gotta see to it that the flame is under the milk part else you will burn the mash.
my wife's father taught me this way of making it, his is the best i ever tasted.
he sees it like making cement lol, gotta boil the milk into a sticky paste so it glues the potatoes together.
the wife loved it :D
>>7698433
cheers

>>7698022
good shit senpai
>>
>>7698176
Looks good m8. Never really used chicken thighs. Do you keep all of the fat on typically?
>>
>>7698492
Chicken thighs are the best part of a chicken! People tend to go towards the healthier breast, but the extra fat on the thigh makes it much tastier.
>>
as long as it covers the meat, yes
all the excess skin/fat i use to make stock

Yum, good thread, OP! Today you were not a faggot.
>>
>>7698135
ah, okay. i have some chicken thighs, left over, maybe i'll give it a whirl
>>
good job, /ck/ could always use more photo recipe threads
>>
>>
>>7698118
Youre a child.
>>
>>7698176
>vuwallah
voila
>>
Nice recipe. Only thing I would do differently is to cook the chicken until done separate from the sauce. Then put the chicken back in just prior to serving. I absolutely hate soggy chicken skin.

>>7699683
Wa-La!
