Instructions:
-
Preheat the oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
Brown the chicken joints: In a skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the chicken joints and fry until browned on all sides, ensuring they are cooked through. Once done, set the chicken aside in a casserole dish.
-
Prepare the sauce: In the same skillet, add the chopped onion to the remaining oil and butter. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
-
Add mushrooms and flavorings: Stir in the sliced mushrooms, chopped parsley, lemon juice, and a generous splash of Southern Comfort (or mead). Season with your preferred seasonings, such as salt and pepper, to taste. Allow the mixture to cook for an additional 3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
-
Combine sauce with chicken: Pour the prepared sauce over the browned chicken joints in the casserole dish, ensuring they are evenly coated.
-
Bake: Cover the casserole dish with a lid or foil and transfer it to the preheated oven. Bake for approximately 1 hour, or until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
-
Serve: Once done, remove the dish from the oven. Serve the Southern Comfort Chicken hot, garnished with additional fresh parsley if desired. Pair it with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes, for a complete and satisfying meal.
Enjoy your Southern Comfort Chicken, a delightful dish that brings a taste of the Scottish/English border region to your table! 🍽️🍗
