Description
A simple baked chicken dish featuring potatoes, garlic, and herbs.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs chicken pieces (bone-in, skin-on preferred)
- 1 lb potatoes, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup dry white wine or chicken broth
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated.
- Arrange the seasoned potatoes in a single layer in a large baking dish.
- Place the chicken pieces on top of the potatoes.
- Pour the white wine or chicken broth around the potatoes, not directly over the chicken skin.
- Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
- Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
- Garnish with fresh chopped parsley.
Notes
- For crispier skin, you can briefly broil the chicken for the last 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
- You can substitute chicken thighs or breasts for mixed pieces. Adjust cooking time if using boneless cuts.
