Oven Chicken with Potatoes

Simplest dish EVER! Only 1 pyrex to marinate and bake. No messy kitchen. Also, Oven Chicken with Potatoes is the perfect left over, it can be simply re-heat, or you can transform in a myriad of different new dishes.

Oven Chicken with Potatoes

You'll need:

- pieces of chicken (I like legs, drumsticks)
- seasonings - be creative and use whatever you like:

• onion mix soup and mayonnaise - or
• garlic, paprika and salt - or
• garlic, rosemary and salt  - or
• herbs to your liking, white pepper, mustard, olive oil, etc

- liquid seasoning (white wine, beer, orange juice, or any other experiment you want to try)
- potatoes (I prefer little red ones, with skin, but you can also use big, peeled, cut in quarters), pre cooked in the microwave for about 5 minutes.


How to do it:

Season with whatever you want, add liquid of your choice and leave it marinating for about 2 hours, in the fridge. Add 1/2 glass of white wine (or beer, or orange juice), 1/2 glass of water, and 1h 30min in the oven, 400F.

VERY IMPORTANT - No need to add oil or butter if you don't want to, or if you have high cholesterol, like me. You can remove all the skin or leave it there.

After first 30min, remove from oven and turn everything. The liquid will cook the chicken and potatoes before they start to bake, and will also avoid smoke in the oven. If chicken is not thoroughly cooked yet, drop a little bit of water and back to the oven, until it is done to your liking.

Sides:
Have it with a varied green salad, seasoned with lots of olive oil and salt. Add Balsamic Vinegar if you like it.

That's all. Easy and totally fool proof too.
