By Request, a recipe: Tragedy Chicken

This is a tasty chicken meal that takes about an hour to cook, but almost no prep time.  It’s a bit sweet, and slightly spicy, but you can adjust to taste.

Ingredients

  • As many chicken thighs as you and your table will eat
  • 1 Tsp / thigh medium or mild mango chutney
  • (about 1/2 tsp per 4 tsp chutney) ground chipotle pepper
  • (about 1 tsp per 4 tsp chutney) sweet paprika

Directions

Preheat oven to 220°C (broil / grill setting).  Place chicken in a baking dish, and broil chicken for five minutes to seer skin.  Remove chicken and reduce oven temp to 180°C (bake setting with fan or about 190° without fan).  Cover dish and replace chicken in oven.  Cook for 25 minutes with fan or 35 without.  While chicken is cooking, mix remaining ingredients in a bowl.  Remove chicken from oven, and increase temperature to 195 with fan, or 210 without.  Spread mixture evenly over all pieces, and replace chicken in oven uncovered for ten minutes.  Remove and serve with potatos and a vegetable.

    1. Ah! Doh! Good question. The dish got its name because, as I recall, Christine was to take leftovers to work and there was a bad interaction between the stairs and the container, let’s say. And she thought that was a tragedy.
