Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
How to bake a chicken on a baking sheet in the oven with potatoes? Prepare the necessary ingredients. You can take any parts of the chicken. Instead of dry garlic, use fresh and pick up another set of seasonings and spices to your liking. If necessary, defrost the chicken in advance.
Step 2:
If you have a whole chicken, cut it into portions. I have ready-made shins and thighs. Peel the chicken, cut off all the excess, rinse and dry with napkins.
Step 3:
Put the chicken in a bowl and add to it: garlic, half a portion of Italian herbs, ground black pepper and salt. Mix everything thoroughly and leave to marinate for 1 hour.
Step 4:
Wash, dry, peel and cut the potatoes into large slices.
Step 5:
Place the sliced potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment. Sprinkle the potatoes with the remaining Italian herbs, season with salt and pepper. Pour in the vegetable oil and mix.
Step 6:
Lay out the chicken pieces between the potato slices in the mold. Potatoes and chicken should be stacked tightly together.
Step 7:
Sprinkle the potatoes with chicken and ground paprika evenly on top. Bake the dish for about 50 minutes at 180 ° C, periodically watering it with juice from the bottom of the pan. Determine the exact time and temperature of baking according to your oven.
According to this recipe, you can bake a whole chicken or chicken by spreading potatoes around the carcass.
The main thing is to choose the right potato variety for this dish. Since there are some varieties that contain a lot of starch and as a result they are baked for a very long time and with difficulty: as a result, the chicken can be ready for a long time and very browned, and the potatoes still remain firm in the middle. Therefore, choose less starchy varieties. For example, oblong tubers of yellow and brown color with a yellow core. Such potatoes are quickly and well baked and, moreover, they retain their shape well.
Note that the quality and taste of the finished dish largely depends on the proper defrosting of the ingredients. How to avoid mistakes and choose the best way, read the article about defrosting.
Keep in mind that everyone's ovens are different. The temperature and cooking time may differ from those specified in the recipe. To make any baked dish successful, use useful information about the features of ovens !
Another good recipe for chicken and potatoes in my piggy bank. I will not say that this is an original recipe, but the dish turned out very tasty. Spices gave the chicken an additional taste and aroma. By the way, instead of Italian herbs, you can safely use any other mixtures, for example, Provencal, if they are more to your liking. Despite the fact that chicken and potatoes are baked on an open baking sheet, they remain juicy and do not dry out. You just need to remember to water them periodically with fat from the bottom of the pan.
