Oven Roasted Garlic Chicken with Butternut Squash!

Show me the 'Appian' way to go home...

Turn on the oven to 400, drizzle a glass baking dish with olive oil, lay in as many chicken thighs, bone in skin on, as you will need to serve. Sprinkle over the top: garlic powder, red pepper flakes and dried herbs - rosemary, mint, oregano and sage. Also, dice up 3 cloves of fresh garlic and lay on the thighs. Bake/roast for about 45 minutes or until fully cooked and crispy skin side up. For the final step, a little secret ingredient... spoon over the top honey flavored open pit barbecue sauce and return to the oven for 5-6 mins.

In the meantime, microwave a whole small butternut squash until tender. Wash, peel and boil as many yellow gold potatoes as you will need. When tender, drain and mash with butter, heavy cream and sour cream until smooth.

Put it all together and put it on the table!
