Baked Irish Chicken

This is a great meal in a pot, I know that my Irish Grandma would have loved this recipe, and most likely made a Baked Irish Chicken very much like this recipe. The chicken has a special rub and would melt in your mouth all by itself, however we are adding some wonderful Irish vegetables that will complete this dish. Our family loves this recipe and keep coming back for seconds.

How To Make A Special

Baked Irish Chicken

The first thing I did was fry the bacon and render the bacon fat into that wonderful bacon grease. Remove the bacon to a holding platter.

 The bacon grease will give the chicken

 and vegetables special flavor.

I am using a whole chicken for this recipe, and I cut up a whole chicken. I know that many of you don't like to or maybe don't know how to cut up a whole chicken.

If you can learn how to cut up your whole chicken,

 it will save you a lot of money.

Prepare a simple rub with a great combination of seasons. Make sure that the chicken is covered all over with the rub.

Next we want to brown the chicken in the bacon grease. Brown all the chicken pieces and set them aside on a holding platter.

Now we are ready to work on the vegetables,

 starting with the sliced potatoes.

We will brown the potatoes in the same pot as the chicken in all those wonderful seasons that are left behind

 from the bacon and chicken.

Add the cabbage to the pot with the potatoes and begin to wilt the cabbage. Stir in the water. By now the smell of 

all these seasons and vegetables is just amazing!

Next we will layer the chopped crisp bacon on top of the cabbage.

Our last vegetable layer is the sliced onions.

The chicken will go on top of all of those wonderful vegetables. Then at the very last, pour the apple juice 

around the edge of the pot. 

Place the lid on the pot and into the oven.
