McWilliams Hanwood Estate Riesling

Produced in the South Eastern Australia appellation, two-thirds of the wine is sourced in the Riverina region of New South Wales, a quarter from Clare Valley, a small portion from the Eden Valley, and the remainder from Barossa, Coonawarra and the Yarra Valley in Victoria. The grapes for this wine are harvested at night, and then fermented under cool conditions, without any use of oak at all. A refreshing white with citrus and zippy mineral notes.Buy this wine if you like: Expressive white wines with distinctive character and luscious fruit. Great for drinking with food.

Description

Chicken thighs baked in the oven in tomato sauce, deliciously spiced. Greek style, with plenty of Oregano, Thyme, Lemon Juice and Paprika.

Method

  1. 1

    1. Wash and clean the chicken thighs.
    2. Add all the marinate ingredients in a bowl and marinate the chicken for 30 minutes in the fridge or up to 24 hours.
    3. Place the chicken thighs in a large baking dish.
    4. Bake the chicken for about 1 hour in the middle of the oven on 150 degrees Celsius and turn occasional for even browning.
    5. Once cooked and evenly browned, take out the chicken thighs on a plate for the moment.
    6. Add to the roasting juices, the chopped tomatoes, sliced onion. Give it a good mix and check seasoning. At this stage I usually add a bit more paprika, salt and pepper.
    7. Return the chicken thighs back to the baking dish with the tomato sauce and bake for a further 1 hour, turn occasionally and mix the sauce. For all the flavours to combine and the sauce to reduce.
    8. After 1 hour take the dish out of the oven and serve with rice.

Chef's Tips

Tip 1.
You will see the juices and fat of the chicken will give lots of flavour to the sauce, but you can skim it a bit if your are health conscious.
Tip 2.
Serve with Saffron rice and Greek salad on the side.
