Chicken with squash, sage & walnuts

And butternut squash again.. I love its shape, colour, texture and taste. A bit sweet, can add twist to any dish. My first encounter with it wasn't very successful thou. I made a risotto and it was very blunt. Well, but that did not put me off and now this beautifully orange veggie is a frequent guest on my table.
Today it will be serve with chicken, walnuts and hint of sage.



mixed chicken thigh and drumstick pieces
olive oil
3 red onions, cut into wedges
1 medium butternut squash, cubed
bunch of fresh sage
100 g walnuts, roughly chopped
cherry vinegar

Heat oven to 220C. Tip the chicken pieces into a large roasting tin and toss with the oil, onions and squash. Season with salt and pepper.
Roast in oven for about 25 minutes, remove, toss through sage, walnuts, then drizzle over vinegar. Leave in the oven for another 25-30 minutes until chicken is golden brown and the veg soft and sticky. Serve straight from the tin- it looks great (well, maybe not on my photo...my kitchen is so dark that it is very difficult to take good picture..)! And what a taste!
