Pomegranate Roast Chicken
Ingredients
- 3 1/2 pound bone in chicken pieces
- 1 cup pomegranate juice
- ¼ cup MH Solera Sherry
- ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1 tbsp fresh minced ginger root
- 2 tbsp minced garlic
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp ground black pepper
- 1 bunch green onion slice in rings
- ½ cup pomegranate seeds
Instructions
- Arrange the chicken in a bake proof pan
- Mix together all the ingredients excluding the green onions and pomegranate seeds
- Pour the above mixture over the chicken and allow it to marinade for 2 -3 hours under refrigeration, turn the chicken at least once to ensure that it is coated fully
- Bake in a 350-degree oven for 45 minutes uncovered until chicken is done - internal temp of 160 degrees F minimum
- Baste the chicken several times during the cooking process to coat the chicken
- Serve alongside your favorite grain (I personally like a basmati or jasmine rice)
Recipe Notes
Additional note Pomegranate arils (seeds) make a wonderful addition to a salad for flavor and texture. I like something with a citrus (orange) supreme and an orange vinaigrette
