Savory Chicken with Secret Ingredient

I’m always looking for different ways to serve the chicken that makes a weekly appearance at our Shabbat table Friday night. And I don’t like long complicated recipes.

So I put together this delicious dish using things I had on hand and with little twist. I had a bottle of vodka with just two tablespoons left in it. Not enough for a drink but certainly enough to sneak into my chicken.

It was really really good.
Enjoy!

Ingredients:

Ready for the oven!

• 4 bottom chicken quarters
• 3 tbsp Galilee Green Olive Oil
• 2 tbsp vodka
• 2 tsp water from olive can
• 4 cloves garlic, chopped
• 1 tbsp dried oregano or 2 tbsp fresh chopped oregano
• 1 tsp turmeric
• 1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
• 2 small tomatoes, chopped
• 1/3 cup olives, chopped

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Mix olive oil, vodka, olive water, and chopped garlic in a bowl
3. Pour over chicken pieces and rub both sides with mixture.
4. Sprinkle oregano and turmeric on both sides and add fresh and sun-dried tomatoes and olives to the pan on top of the chicken.
5. Cook for at least an hour and baste half way through.
6. Cook another half hour if you like it well done.
