chicken thighs

🥗Healthier: skinless chicken thighs

💰Cheaper: chicken drumsticks

Skinless thighs reduce fat, while drumsticks are usually cheaper.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Avocado oil has a similar flavor profile and a higher smoke point.

green olives

🥗Healthier: kalamata olives

💰Cheaper: canned black olives

Kalamata olives offer a richer flavor, while canned black olives are more budget-friendly.

chicken broth

🥗Healthier: homemade chicken broth

💰Cheaper: water with bouillon cubes

Homemade broth is fresher, while bouillon is convenient and cost-effective.

If using chicken quarters, remove the drumstick from the thigh. Add chicken to the baking tray.

Preheat oven to 200°C / 400°F. Crush garlic cloves and mince two additional cloves. Add to chicken along with herbs, olive oil, sherry vinegar, salt, and pepper. Bake for 35-40 minutes until golden.

Serve over steamed rice or mashed potatoes with steamed veg or salad, and drizzle with cooking juices.
