instructions
    1

    Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).

    2

    In a large bowl, mix the olive oil, salt, black pepper, and minced garlic to create a marinade.

    3

    Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, massaging it into the meat until evenly coated. Let it sit for about 15 minutes.

    4

    While the chicken is marinating, peel and chop the potatoes into quarters.

    5

    In a large baking dish, add the potatoes, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with rosemary, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat.

    6

    Place the marinated chicken on top of the potatoes in the baking dish.

    7

    Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and crispy while the potatoes are tender.

    8

    Check that the internal temperature of the chicken reaches at least 165 degrees Fahrenheit (75 degrees Celsius).

    9

    Once done, remove from the oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes before serving.

Important Tips

  • Use fresh herbs like thyme or oregano instead of rosemary for a different flavor profile.
