Instructions

  1. Peel the potatoes and onions. Cut the tomatoes and potatoes into half or whole slices and the onions into half or whole rings, about 0.5 cm thick. Depending on the size of the vegetables and if you like, in whole or half slices or rings. Peel the garlic and cut into sticks (but you can leave it out if you don`t like garlic).
  2. Wash the chicken legs, pat dry and brush with oil. I also like to mix it with paprika powder. Then salt, pepper and sprinkle with thyme.
  3. Tip: If you cook for more people, you can also take a whole chicken and cut it up.
  4. Butter a tall casserole dish, otherwise the potatoes will bake. Spread the potatoes in the pan and sprinkle with salt, pepper and thyme. Layer the onions on top and also season this layer with salt, pepper and thyme. Layer the tomatoes on top and season this layer with salt, pepper and thyme as well. Spread the garlic in the vegetable layers. Pour the schnapps over it. Place the chicken drumsticks on top with the skin side up. You can also put the skin side down first and then turn the meat over after 1/2 - 3/4 hour. Maybe it will be through faster then.
  5. Place the casserole dish in the cold oven and cook for 1.5 hours at 200 ° C top / bottom heat. The chicken and tomatoes will leak fat and liquid, creating a delicious broth in which the potatoes will cook.
  6. If you like, you can also serve baguettes.
  7. The amount is only enough for 2 people, because after dinner I go to the mold like a seven-headed caterpillar and eat the rest of the vegetables. And unfortunately my greed also prevented a finished photo.
