Notes:
This freezes very well – just make sure to double wrap. You can also prep the onion mixture in advance, and then top and cook chicken when ready.
2 hours to cook chicken? Seems too long to me. I get that it’s a relatively low temperature, but still. It seems to me that the chicken will be overdone.
Would like to try this. Does it not need oil with onions? to sauté?
You actually don’t need because you are not sauteing you are caramelizing so the honey will help with that.
will the chicken still taste good without the chestnuts. i
Can i add the chestnuts in at the beginning of baking already (when i put the whole tray in the freezer)?
Thanks!
Hi! Because the chestnuts are pre cooked, and the chicken cooks for long, I find it’s best to add them at the end. You can definitely freeze the chicken (with the chestnuts). It freezes amazing. Just double wrap. You can even add the chestnuts right before freezing and then just rewarm together when defrosting.
Ever since I saw this recipe a few years back, I’ve been making it every Rosh Hashana. The caramelization of the onions takes time but it’s worth the wait. Crowd pleaser.
So happy you’re loving it!
Delicious! I’d cut down on the honey next time I make it.
What would happen if I tried this stovetop?
I think it would work and still be delicious!
As th recipe says to cover tightly, I am concerned if the chicken will get golden, or should I fry it first?
My onions look great! I am increasing the recipe and did more onions (about 15). Took about an hour to caramelize, but worth it.
I think they will be fine in the oven and should become a nice color. You can definitley brown them on the stove top first but not sure it’s necessary.
As this is being billed as a Rosh Hashana recipe, It may be worth a reminder that many don’t eat nuts on Rosh Hashana
Technically chestnuts are not a nut, but please consult your Rav about it.
If I’m allergic is there anything I can replace the chestnuts with? Thanks
I would just skip them.
can chicken cutlets be used instead of chicken pieces?
You can try it, but you’d have to adjust the cooking time.
can I use silan instead of honey
Definitely!
so so good
made it for shabbos. everyone loved it
thank you all
So happy to hear!
How to I do chestnuts. Cook them in oven first before adding to chicken or cut open and place chestnut meat raw under chicken?
I always use the precooked ones that are already roasted…
Hi, looks great but is this one chicken cut into very small pieces? It seems like a lot of onions, but it is only for 6 people….. Thanks
When the onions get caramelized they reduce to very little… you can use a little less but they taste amazing… the more the better:)
Hi! I’d like to try this recipe – just wanba double check if it doesn’t need any salt n pepper? Some basic spices?
I season the chicken with just a little salt and pepper with the oil – it’s not listed in Ingredients but it’s Included in instructions!
