Daniah Roasted Chicken

Danish Roasted Chicken Thighs in Mushroom Sauce.

This is my Far’s (Dad) Danish roasted chicken thighs recipe. I have tweaked it a bit but still easy and very tasty. I put the thighs in the oven then make the sauce. Buttermilk is traditionally used for the sauce but cream works fine just fine. I have also switched out leeks for the onion. Usually I like this with Rodkaal (Red Cabbage) Which you can see how to make under my other recipes but is great with any other veg. as well. Also I love fingerling potatoes with this dish as you will see in the video…
