Ingredients

15 chicken thighs
8 large potatoes, peeled and quartered
1 cup vegetable oil, or as needed
1/2 cup wine vinegar

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2 Arrange the chicken pieces in a 10x15-inch enameled roasting pan. In a large skillet over medium high heat, fry the potatoes in 1/2-inch-deep oil until golden brown, then put them in the pan with the chicken.
