Can i just put some chicken thighs in a roasting pan with onions and potatoes and some liquids and it will end up okay? I just wanna throw a bunch of stuff in a roasting pan and put it in the oven i don't want to really have to do anything besides a little chopping

The chicken skin is going to steam from the water in the onions and potatoes. You're going to have a colorless piece of meat. If that's what you want, then go for it. I also doubt the potatoes will crisp. I think the entire dish is going to end up boiling in its own liquids. At this point, you're better off just making a soup and extracting all the flavor from the onion, bones and skin into a broth, shredding the meat and adding it back in, and then adding the potatoes towards the end.

I was thinking doing high heat and some real flavorful liquid but not too much maybe halfway up the thighs at most. I don't want soup
>>7924913
just coat the veg with a little bit of oil and some spices and shit, then uncover for the last 20 minutes or so. i would not recommend a very high heat, 350/180 at most.
>>7924917
That's too dry though i need a little liquid in there
>>7924926
your meat and potatoes will release liquids when cooked. this is a dish i make on a very regular basis, although i add carrots and sometimes celery to the potatoes as well. that's also why you cover it for most of the cooking time.
>>7924926
There is liquid in the chicken you dumb fuck
>>7924958
then coat the veg in flour, add liquid and don't cover it? you obviously don't actually want any advice though, so just do whatever you think and disregard what the people who know what the fuck they're talking about are telling you.
>>7924973
You don't know what you're talking about though you just gave me a way to make some roasted chicken thighs. you dont know how to make it juicy

I just don't want your recipe for basic martha chicken i want to use a flavorful liquid
>>7924958
Do you have a Dutch oven? That would be a better tool to use, if not I'd brown the thighs in a pan and deglaze with white wine or dry vermouth and pour it in the pan. Remove the skin. If I hear you correctly you want to braise the chicken. A good trick is to elevate the meat a bit, there are several ways to do this (one is to simply use some whole onion slices), but since you want taters and carrots in there, use those as a bed on your pan (onions are still a good idea) put thighs on top. Sprinkle with herbs, like herbed de Provence, or simply thyme, s&p, fill the remainder of the space (up to about half way up the thigh) with stock/broth. Cover w aluminum foil and pop in the oven. When the thighs are done, remove them and the roots, take the liquid that's in there and strain it into a sauce pan and rapidly reduce. Take a knob of butter and an equal amount of flour and mash it together (this called a beurre manie) and whisk it in, it will thicken the sauce and make it silky. Taste & season. Wa-la

That's pretty good but i can't use the stovetop
>>7925032
Hrm. OK. Remove the skin, and lightly flour the taters & carrots (this will thicken the sauce), still use white wine or dry vermouth and stock or broth (mix some boullion cubes in hot water if you are limited) and proceed as above, use less liquid, enough to just cover the taters & carrots
>>7925042
Thank you this is helpful but I'll use my own preference of flavorful liquid
>>7925027
>remove the skin
stopped reading right there. WTF is wrong with you? Why do you hate awesome crispy chicken skin?
>>7925060
Do you suffer from reading comprehension issues? OP wants a braise, how do you propose oh wise one, how to get a crispy skin in a braise?
>>7925060
Im the op usually i would agree with you but this time im going bald thighs with a flavorful liquid almost stewish so that anon seems right
>>7925069
WHEN YOU DONT HAVE A STOVE TOP
>>7925051
Mountain dew?
>>7925093
What part of 'stew' do you not understand? This isn't difficult fuckwit. But go ahead and dig your heals in. You'll still be wrong.
>>7925100
Please tell me where in the OP post he says anything about "Stew". Who makes a stew in a roasting pan?
>> heals
>>7925109
>>
& that's not green text works. Go away filthly casual
>>7925109
I didnt say stew in the op but its gonna be a roasted braise uncovered, hopefully the flavorful liquid will make it almost stewish. The roasting pan is the only pan i have access to
>>7925113
What part of "OP post" do you not understand?
>>7925120
>roasted braise uncovered
Sounds awful. If the only pan you have is a roasting pan, then why not...I dunnoo...ROAST the chicken?
>>7925126
Original Post post? Are you literally this fucking stupid?
>>7925128
Its not awful it will be roasted and braised combined for a double whammy of flavor. I dont want basic martha chicken
>>7925131
I'm wondering why you're not answering the question posed to you, and instead are deflecting.
wtf is the flavorful liquid
OP is either a dedicated troll or a dedicated idiot.
Flavorful liquid? Like what, soy sauce? Salsa verse? Cream of mushroom soup? Your mother's vaginal discharge?
You have so many people telling you decent methods of making the dish you want that include adding ~flavourful liquid~ yet, like the mong you are, you staunchly refuse to listen and insist on forging your own path into further retardation. Grow the fuck up and realize it's ok to listen to people who know better, you dipshit.
6/10, got me to respond.

>You are being intentionally argumentative and obtuse
It's not my intent to offend. It's my intent to reply to you, after you've answered my question. I'll do an example:
>where is stew in OP's post
--well, it's not in OP. It's another post further down.
>oh, so OP's pretty confused about what he wants to do and is changing is mind
-yeah, it seems like that
>ah, ok. So we both know that op doesn't really know what he's doing. Let's work on a better suggestion.
The problem here is that you aren't doing your part by actually answering the questions posed. I'm not asking questions to insult you, I'm asking questions to move the conversation along. But that process doesn't work if you don't answer them.
>>7925193
No you're not. OP knows what he wants to do, and got some ideas on how to achieve that objective. We're through here. Well done shitting up the thread.
