Sage And Onion Sausage And Chicken
This month seems to be the month of challenges. Todays post is part of Maison Cupcakes Forever Nigella Challenge. Choose a recipe from any Nigella cookbook and re-create or replicate it and post the result. I love watching Nigella on TV, there is an effortlessness about everything she cooks that wills me to have a go.
One Pan Sage and Onion Chicken and Sausage was a tempting dish, from Feast, with it’s promise of classic sage and onion stuffing flavours. Those aromas and tastes do come through strongly along with the freshness of lemons and the richness of the caramelised ingredients. I altered the cooking time and temp and added two heads of garlic cut in half. After all, what is a roast dish without garlic?
Sage And Onion Sausage And Chicken
Straight From The Oven
- 400g chicken wings. This makes great stock as well as tasty chicken morsels.
- 160g chicken thighs, or a mix of thighs and legs.
- 12 traditional sausages. Good quality sausages produce less fat in the dish.
- 125 mls light olive oil.
- 2 medium sized onions cut into quarters.
- 1 lemon, juiced and cut into quarters.
- 2 bulbs of garlic cut through the middle.
- 1 tablespoon dried sage.
- 2 tablespoons fresh sage finely chopped.
- 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce.
- 2 teaspoons English Mustard.
Waiting To Go In The Oven
Method
- In a large dish or plastic bag, combine the olive oil, mustard, dried sage, lemon juice and worcestershire sauce. Mix well.
- Add the garlic, cut up lemon, onions and the chicken pieces.
- If using a dish ensure that the chicken is well covered in the marinade. If using a bag, seal the bag and mush the chicken around in the marinade.
- Leave to Marinade overnight or for at least 4 hours.
- Heat oven to 180c
- Put the chicken and the marinade into a roasting dish.
- Tuck the sausages into the gaps in the chicken dish and scatter over the fresh chopped sage.
- Put onto the oven for 1 hour and 20 minutes.
Delicious! I have made this particular Nigella recipe many times. It’s so easy and tastes wonderful. I toss in potatoes too to just make it a one dish meal. Love it!
I did this challenge to get me back into using my Nigella cook books. It is a great recipe and , as you say, very easy. GG
Dear GG,
This dish looks absolutely delicious and I would be in a dilemma as to whether I would tuck into the chicken or the sausage first. Love that cross section roasted garlic that would be so sweet and soft! Well done.
The garlic was lovely, I used some of it squished into the gravy I made from the juices. GG
I just cooked this last night for my teen and pre-teen. They love it but I do leave out the cut up lemons. They complain it is too ‘lemony’. They had it with a giant yorkshire pudding! I also watched Nigella Kitchen yesterday and couldn’t resist the meatloaf she was making – it’s currently in the oven and it is truly a loaf of meat.
I watched that too! I was surprised that she did meatloaf as it seems too Amarican for Nigella. It did look really good. I love the idea of serving the chicken and sausage with giant Yorkshire Pud. Total comfort food and ideal for hungry teens. GG
You are right about Nigella. She really does make cooking look effortless. What a delicious dish. I’m sure that’s something everyone in my family would love. Your photo of the dish all plated up is mouthwatering.
Thanks, everyone did enjoy this and if you put potatoes in, as Nazneen suggests it would be the perfect effortless one pot meal. GG
Oooh this looks really delicious….it’s getting close to dinner time and I am wishing I had the ingredients to make this dish!
We had it for supper and it kept well for the next day. It’s a generous dish for 6 and there were only 3 of us! GG
I love Nigella and her approach to simple, fast and delicious recipes — this looks so mouthwatering
It tasted great, I was initially worried about cooking the sausages with the chicken, but as long as the sausages are good quality there isn’t loads of fat going into the dish. GG
Great recipe and I can’t believe that the Forever Nigella challenge has been going so long. it feels like it only just started! Sarah does a great job!
Sarah does do a good job, I’ve meant to join this challenge for a while. It’s good to get out the Nigella cookbooks and make whatever I like without thinking about whose eating. GG
What a gorgoeus looking dish to enter into #ForeverNigella!I do like Nigella because her recipes absolutely work and I love the way she writes. Thanks for visiting my blog too
I like Nigellas writing but also I think her TV programmes are great too. GG
Looks amazing! I always find out about these challenges after the deadline. The penalty of filling too many blogs.
Thank you. This ones every month, you could give it a go next time. GG
I love how Nigella always makes everything look so easy! It just needs a little forward planning to marinade all the ingredients for this. I like the idea of adding potatoes too.
You’re right with a little forward planning you can have a truly delicious meal. GG
What an unusual combination! It looks gorgeous. I love Nigella’s simple, home recipes and I really like her. She is one of the rare tv cooking stars who doesn’t get on my nerves
She is very entertaining. GG
This dish just begs for roasted garlic, love the addition. The perfect winter dinner!
It was very tasty and can be adapted for all sorts of things, black pudding or potato veg and chicken. GG
Love Nigella love this, so comforting.
Great winter dish and soo tasty. GG
