My dinner

I just happen to be blogging from home this afternoon. How unusual. Anyway, I want to document my red wine chicken recipe (smells so, so, so good right now).

All measurements are approximate, btw.

1.5 to 2 lbs. of chicken parts
1 lg. onion, sliced
2-3 garlic cloves, pressed
salt
pepper
1/2 C red wine (GOOD wine, don't use that cooking swill)
1 TBSP unsalted butter


Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Rinse chicken parts and pat dry.
Place half of sliced onions in bottom of baking dish (your everyday Pyrex will do.
Press garlic cloves directly into the pan.
Place chicken parts skin side down on top of sliced onions. Don't crowd the pan.
Salt and pepper each side to taste. You should end with skin side up.
Scatter remaining onions over chicken.
Dot with butter.
Pour in wine.

Place in preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes to an hour. You can baste, if you want, but you don't have to.

Prepare for some lip smacking goodness.

Yum!
