Ingredients

3-4 chicken breasts on the bone with the skin still on

4 - chicken thighs on the bone with the skin still on

- or -

package of cut up chicken on the bone

6 medium to large red potatoes or 12 baby red potatoes

extra virgin olive oil

kosher salt

bulb of garlic (yes the whole bulb)

oregano or rosemary - either one works great

1 lemon

Directions

preheat oven to 425

generously coat bottom of large deep baking pan with olive oil

cut potatoes into 6ths for large, 4ths for medium or leave whole for baby potatoes and place in pan

drizzle with olive oil (yes, more olive oil!)

generouly salt and oregano (or rosemary)

peel garlic bulb and scatter the whole cloves in the pan

place chicken in the pan, on top of potatoes in fine

squeeze lemon over entire pan

drizzle with olive oil (yes, again)

generously salt and season (again)

cover with foil and bake for about an hour, then remove cover and cook for about 20 minutes. chicken should be golden brown and potatoes should be fork tender. garlic will be roasted and mushy. There will be a wonderful jus of garlic, seasonings, olive oil and chicken juices.

I serve this with grilled asparagus and spoon the jus over the entire plate. Also, I usually make some fresh bread when I serve this to sop up the jus. It is a huge hit in my family! When my mom comes over this is her dinner request EVERY TIME!

Sounds absolutely delicious! My question is same as pleclare's, what does that mean "potatoes in fine"?

notyourmomma 3 months, 2 weeks ago said:
I think it is a typo and it means "is fine"
Putting the chicken on top of the potatoes is fine.

Sorry it took so long to answer - it's been a while since I've been on the site. Yes, I meant putting the chicken on top of the potatoes IS fine - lol! Sorry ;)
