Roasted Chicken Thighs with Almond Pangrattato

Pangrattato (literally 'grated bread' in Italian) is a mixture of fried breadcrumbs that are sprinkled over the juicy tender chicken thighs over a bed of roasted red onions with sweet flavour and creamy texture. It's easy to make and the perfect dinner any night of the week. Do make an extra batch of pangrattato, as they are great to sprinkle over the pasta, risotto and vegetables, or to top casseroles or even to stuff the poultry.

 
Almond Pangrattato
  • 6 Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1 tbsp Chicken schmaltz (or olive oil)
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder
  • 8 Red onions, peeled and cut into wedges
  • 100 g Day-old sourdough bread (this or this)
  • 4 tbsp Butter
  • 2 tbsp Chopped blanched almonds
  • 1 Garlic clove, peeled and minced
  • 1 tsp Chilli flakes
  • 3 tbsp Flat-leaf parsley leaves, roughly chopped
  • 1 Organic lemon, finely grated zest
  1. Season the chicken with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Heat schmaltz or oil in a large deep shallow pan and fry the chicken thighs all over until browned.
  2. Preheat the oven to 200C/400F. Peel and cut the onions into wedges, put into a roasting tin and pour the schmaltz from browning chicken all over the onions. Set the chicken thighs on top and roast for 30 minutes.
  3. To make the pangrattato, place sourdough into a food processor and process into coarse crumbs. Heat the butter in a frying pan over a medium heat and sauté the breadcrumbs until browned and crisp, about 5 minutes. Add the almonds, garlic and chilli flakes, and cook for another minute or so. Remove from the heat and mix with the parsley and lemon zest, mixing everything together.
  4. Transfer the onions on a large serving plate and top with chicken thighs. Pour any extra cooking juices over the top, scatter the pangrattato over and serve.

That sounds like a fantastic topping that's be at home nearly anywhere breadcrumbs are usually called for. Sounds wonderful!

Con el emparedado en los muslos, las cebollas y la salsa, se me antoja un asado riquísimo.

How interesting! I will add this to my must-make list. I bet I could substitute rabbit for the chicken. What do you think, Angie?

I am sure I am not the only one who was unfamiliar with the term “pangratatto”. Who know the humble breadcrumb could become so elevated?

Hello! Have not been posting much but still "visiting". Happy New Year to you and your family.

Pangrattato remind me of croutons! Usually sprinkled over salad, pasta but never thought of sprinkling over roasted chicken.

Hi Angie, Those chicken thighs look great...but onions are just one of the several items I just don't like. It drives my wife crazy but in addition to onions, I can't stand bell peppers, mushrooms, fennel, pimento, eggplant, sweet with meat in general including cinnamon or nutmeg. Onions cooked down into sauces aren't an issue though. Waffles and fried chicken is the rage...but I just don't get it. Take Care, Big Daddy Dave

This is my kind of chicken dish. I almost always choose thighs because I love they they stay SO juicy. The onions are gorgeous in this dish, too. :-) ~Valentina
