Easy
Prep 20 min Cook 35 min
Did someone say wine and chicken? My Red Wine Roast Chicken is the perfect meal to throw together for easy entertaining or as a mid week one pot wonder. Drinking and cooking with great wine is doubly delicious… a little for me and a little for the chicken! For lovers of Spanish wine, I’ve teamed Edenvale Tempranillo Cab Sav with a tasty Roast Chicken, with crispy kipfler potatoes and carrots… Did you know that Edenvale alcohol removed wines are a “functional food”? That means they have a potentially positive effect on health beyond basic nutrition – low in calories and high in antioxidants! You would almost feel guilty for not enjoying a glass or two.
Ingredients
1 whole chicken cut into 8 pieces approx. 1.7kg or chicken pieces
100g tomato paste
150ml Edenvale Tempranillo Cabernet Sauvignon
1 tsp fresh thyme leaves – 1/2 tsp dried
1 tsp fresh marjoram leaves – ½ tsp dried
Salt and pepper
2 tbsp olive oil
400g baby kipfler potatoes, washed and boiled until just tender
2 large carrots, peeled and sliced
2 onions, peeled and quartered
Recipe Steps
Preheat the oven to 200c.
-
- In a large bowl combine the tomato paste, red wine, chopped herbs and ¼ tsp salt and pepper.
-
Add in the chicken pieces and toss to cover with the marinade. Allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes, even better the night before.
- Place the chicken pieces into a large baking dish. Stir 125ml of water into the remaining marinade and pour this over the chicken. Place the onions, carrots and partially cooked potatoes into spaces between the chicken.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables and lightly season with a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
- Roast for 30 – 40 minutes until the chicken skin is browned and the chicken pieces are cooked through. Enjoy with a glass of Edenvale Tempranillo Cabernet Sauvignon and a leafy salad or steamed green beans.
