I do a variation on Greek souvlaki, using chicken instead of lamb.
Marinate the chicken in olive oil, lemon juice, garlic and oregano. Then cook the chicken on the barbecue, grill, or in the oven,
Serve with tzakiki, salad and garlic bread.
Greek garlic bread - use pitta bread, spear all over with a fork, then spread with garlic butter, and cook in the oven, grill or barbecue.
That's what we've just had, with mushroom saganaki (I know, it sound Japanese, but it is Greek) . It's mushrooms cooked with onions, garlic and chopped tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper, add chilli (spicy, but not hot) and lots of cinnamin, mixed spice and nutmeg. Put in an ovenproof dish, sprinkle with feta cheese (or any cheese), and finish off in then oven. It's a dish from Crete, and there are many variations, but that's the one our favourite chef uses.

Hi Maja,
Have tried to work it all out, even my OH is confused - tomorrow is another day - have printed it all out, and will work it out in the cold light of day (and in the rain) at Harewood tomorrow.

Hello Maja
I love this Nigella recipe. I use Sherry if I don't have Marsala. I also do one big pie rather than small ones and I don't have garlic oil so just use normal oil and a clove of garlic.

This is the first time I've tried to copy and paste a web site address so I hope it works!

Nigella's Coq Au Vin is also fabulous and uses chicken thighs. I would highly recommend this one from her How to Eat book.

I always use thighs to make my caserolles. I think they have a better taste than breasts. I do bone them first though. I know somebody who doesn't and they can be very fiddly.
Dont you think that the cheaper cuts of all mea tare much tastier, providing you cook them long and slow.
Enjoy

I love chicken thighs, I think they have tons more flavour, and love to eat them.
I love them BBQd, and also just simply roasted with olive oil and herbs and eaten with a lovely green salad.
Marina, Love your recipe, will definitely be doing this before too long.

Re: CHICKEN THIGH FILLETS

I make a casserole with chicken thighs:-
place thighs in a casserole dish with sliced carrots, peas and a handful of pearl barley (rinsed), add a chicken oxo cube and water to cover, season to taste and cook in the oven for 2 hours on gas3/4, sorry don't know the electric equivilent. I some times add in diced potatoes for a complete meal but usually serve it with rice. The barley gives it a creamy taste.
Check the casserole half way through as the barley soaks up the liquid quite a lot.
