Equipment
- 1 deep baking dish
- 1 Sharp Knife
- 1 Cutting Board
Ingredients
For the Chicken:
- 4 chicken drumsticks
- 4 chicken thighs
- 1 tsp salt
- ⅓ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp all-purpose seasoning
- 1 tsp sweet paprika
- ½ tsp thyme
For the Potatoes:
- 1 tbsp oil
- 1½ pounds potatoes 700 grams
- 1 onion
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp all-purpose seasoning
- A pinch of cayenne pepper and black pepper
Instructions
- Separate the drumsticks from the thighs, rinse them, and pat dry with paper towels.
- If time permits, season the chicken with the spices listed above a day ahead and refrigerate. If not, you can still season it just before baking—it will still be flavorful.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Peel and slice the potatoes into thin strips, similar to French fries. Slice the onion into strips and cut the garlic cloves in half.
- Lightly grease a baking dish with oil and arrange the potatoes, onion, and garlic in the dish. Season the vegetables and toss them together.
- Place the seasoned chicken on top of the vegetables, spreading everything evenly in the dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 50 minutes, or until the chicken is golden and cooked through, and the potatoes are crispy.
- Serve hot, with a light salad on the side if you like. Enjoy!
