Old Crank

Dinner tonight

I eat a fair amount of chicken. Our stores aren't all that reliable with the kinds of chicken cuts available at any given time. I was looking for a whole chicken but ended up with the last package of legs and thighs. I skipped the option of the Suppenhunner. (soup chicken. they are skinny and tough, real tough.)
To be a bit different I browned a diced onion with mushrooms. Set those aside and toasted with just a little oil brown rice. I added 2 cups of stock, a can of chopped tomatoes and then the reserved onion mushrooms. Some salt and pepper and a bit of Marisa powder. That went into a baking pan. Then I browned the chicken parts, I separated the drumsticks from the thighs. When browned they were put into the baking pan.
The whole thing went into a 375 F oven for about 50 minutes.

I even have enough left over for a second dinner.
