Ingredients

Servings: 4
  • 1 Lime
  • 3 Garlic cloves
  • 2 Branches of rosemary
  • 6 Chicken legs (approx. 200 g each)
  • 7-10 Tbsp pepper, salt
  • 3 medium-sized onions
  • 1 TABLESPOON Olive oil
  • 6 TABLESPOONS Butter
  • 1.5 kg Sweet potatoes

Directions

  1. 1

    Halve the lime and squeeze it. Peel garlic and chop finely. Wash the rosemary and dab dry. Pluck needles and chop finely.

  2. 2

    Wash the legs and pat dry. Cut the skin on the underside and remove the meat with your fingers. Cut the legs into upper and lower legs with a sharp knife or poultry shears.

  3. 3

    Put chicken pieces in a bowl. Mix with lime juice, garlic, rosemary and 1⁄4 TL pepper. Leave covered in the fridge for about 1 hour.

  4. 4

    Onions peel and chop finely. Heat the oil in a frying pan or casserole. Fry the onions until they are dark brown, almost burnt. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in it. Add chicken legs immediately and fry well all around.

  5. 5

    Season with salt. Add the rest of the marinade or a few tablespoons of water. Cover and braise for about 40 minutes, turning the chicken parts halfway through the cooking time and possibly adding some more water.

  6. 6

    In the meantime, peel, wash and coarsely dice the sweet potatoes for the puree. Cover and cook in salted water for about 30 minutes. Drain and add 4 tablespoons of butter. Mash with a potato masher until puree.

  7. 7

    Season to taste with salt and pepper. Arrange chicken with onion sauce and sweet potato puree.
