In the end of the day all they want is some meat and mashed potatoes.
Not your typical Valentine's day recipe today because I ain't get no cakes or chocolate covered strawberries, sadly (or luckily). Actually it is a huge turn off for me when it comes to chocolate covered fruits or berries. I prefer them the way the are, just like my chocolate, I eat it straight too. Simple!
Ingredients:
- 4-6 drumsticks (or some breast meat);
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar;
- 1/4 cup brown sugar;
- 3-4 garlic cloves (minced);
- black pepper to taste;
- italian spices to taste.
Veggie side:
- carrots;
- broccoli florets;
- olive oil;
- salt, pepper to taste.
Directions:
Combine all of the ingredients in a bowl and pour into a ziploc bag, add in chicken and let it marinate for about 40 minutes to an hour in the fridge.
Preheat your oven to 400 F and bake for about 30 minutes (or until fully cooked).
To prepare the veggie side, spread carrots and broccoli florets on a baking sheet, drizzle some olive oil on top, sprinkle some salt and pepper and bake at 400 F for about 15 minutes, flip the vegetables if needed to make sure they don't burn.
