Sometimes getting dinner on the table is not as easy as I would like it to be. Β So I have a few recipes that are my go to that can cook in the oven while I run after my rambunctious Β toddler.

I actually did not create this dish all on my own so I cannot take credit for it. I came over to our friends house on a Saturday afternoon to take my girlfriend shopping with me. As I entered the house a smell permeated my nose that I can only describe as roasted goodness.

About 2 years ago I came over to our friend Alex’s house to pick up his wife for some shopping escapades with me. Β  Alex was making lunch for his twin boys. Β  I smelled the chicken cooking in the oven immediately and started salivating. Β I saw him open the oven, pour in wine into the roasting pan and shoved it back into the oven. When he offered me some, I gladly had three drumsticks along with his twin boys.

“Wow this is really good!” I said to him.
“Yea? You think so?” He asked me rather surprisingly… He then gave me a little cocky smirk and walked away. Nice. Give men one compliment and they are suddenly the Iron Chef.

The one thing I added to this recipe is potatoes. Β Because, well, I LOVE POTATOES. Β And these little babies…mmmmmm. Β They soak up all that spectacular wine and they are even better the second day. Β Honestly I may have to come up with a recipe that is JUST wine soaked potatoes.

  1. Yum! I often use alcoholic cider when I roast chicken as I love the flavour that develops in the oven. And when there’s no cider in the house? Red or white wine, of course, cos that’s always in the house!
