Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (5 minutes)

02

Step
10 mins

Arrange the chicken pieces in a large baking dish (9x13 inch). Pour water or chicken broth into the bottom of the dish to maintain moisture. (5 minutes)

03

Step
5 mins

Distribute the quartered potatoes around and over the chicken pieces, ensuring they are in contact with the pan juices. (5 minutes)

04

Step
1 hrs

Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the chicken and potatoes. Season generously with crushed rosemary, thyme, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper. (2 minutes)

05

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender, approximately 1 hour. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 180 degrees F (82 degrees C) when measured with an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh. (60 minutes)

For enhanced flavor, consider marinating the chicken for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight) in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs before baking.
To ensure even cooking, use potatoes of similar size and thickness.
If the chicken starts to brown too quickly, tent the baking dish with aluminum foil during the last 15-20 minutes of baking.
A splash of white wine or chicken stock halfway through baking can add extra depth of flavor to the pan juices.

    My chicken was done a bit faster, so I would suggest checking it after 45 minutes.
