Enhance baked chicken with dill pickles for a tangy tomato sauce perfect for pasta and bread.
Ingredients:
  • 4 chicken leg quarters with skin, split into drumsticks and thighs
  • 1 pinch seasoned salt, or to taste
  • ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 0.5 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can stewed tomatoes
  • 0.5 cup finely chopped dill pickles
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to a toasty 400°F (200°C).
  • Season chicken with a delicious blend of seasoned salt and pepper. In an oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat, drizzle oil and sear chicken until beautifully golden on both sides, approximately 5 minutes each. Place chicken on a plate, removing any excess grease from the skillet.
  • - Lower the heat to medium and deglaze the skillet by adding balsamic vinegar. Stir gently until the vinegar reduces by half and thickens, about 3 to 5 minutes. - Add stewed tomatoes and pickles, breaking the tomatoes into smaller pieces with a spoon. - Simmer for about 5 minutes. - Return the browned chicken to the skillet, skin-side down, and cover tightly with a lid or foil.
  • Roast the chicken in the preheated oven until fully cooked and tender, about 45 minutes. Ensure the internal temperature near the bone reaches 165 degrees F (74 degrees C) using an instant-read thermometer. Uncover and simmer until the sauce thickens, for 10 to 15 minutes. Remove any excess grease before serving.
