GARLIC ROASTED CHICKEN AND POTATOES



Garlic Roasted Chicken and Potatoes image

I've been making this recipe for so many years, I can't remember where I got it from. It's really quick to throw together. After fixing it several times, my husband 'discovered' that you were supposed to spread the garlic on the chicken. It's one of his favorites now. This recipe is very easy to adjust up or down. Just make sure your pan is big enough if adjusting up. I usually add more potatoes, since we like them. Serve with a mixed greens salad.

Time 1h20m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 6

¼ cup butter
6 chicken leg quarters, split into drumsticks and thighs
6 large Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into chunks
24 cloves garlic, unpeeled
salt and ground black pepper to taste
¼ cup maple syrup

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Place the butter into a roasting pan, and melt in the oven. When butter is melted, swirl to coat the bottom of the roasting pan, and place the chicken drumsticks and thighs, potatoes, and unpeeled garlic cloves into the pan. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper; turn the chicken, potatoes, and garlic to coat with butter.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is no longer pink inside and the juices run clear, about 40 minutes, basting 3 times with pan drippings. Brush maple syrup over the chicken pieces, and spoon pan drippings over the potatoes.
  • Return to oven, and bake until the chicken and potatoes are tender and browned, about 20 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into a thick part of a thigh should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). To serve, squeeze garlic from the baked cloves, and spread the soft garlic over the chicken. Pour pan juices over chicken and potatoes.

Provided by Barney Desmazery

Categories     Side dish

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 3

4 sweet potatoes (about 1.2kg), peeled
2 tbsp olive oil
sliced red onions, unpeeled garlic cloves, thyme sprigs or other veg or herbs of your choice (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 230C/210C fan/gas 8. Chop the sweet potatoes into 2-3cm cubes.
  • Tip into a large, shallow roasting tin, drizzle with the oil and season with salt and pepper. If you're adding additional veg or herbs, such as sliced red onions, garlic cloves and thyme, tip these in as well. Toss everything together to coat in the oil, then roast for 20 mins. Toss again to ensure the potatoes cook evenly, and roast for another 15-20 mins until the potatoes are lightly browned on the outside and tender when pierced with a fork or knife.

Tips:

  • Selecting the Right Potatoes: Choose medium-sized sweet potatoes that are firm and smooth, without any blemishes or bruises. This ensures they roast evenly and retain their shape.
  • Seasoning the Potatoes: Generously coat the sweet potatoes with a mixture of olive oil, salt, and pepper before roasting. This enhances their natural sweetness and adds savory flavors.
  • Roasting Technique: Roast the potatoes at a high temperature (425°F) for 20-25 minutes, then reduce the heat to 375°F and continue roasting for another 15-20 minutes. This creates a crispy exterior and tender interior.
  • Adding Garlic: Incorporate whole garlic cloves into the roasting process. They caramelize and infuse their aromatic flavors into the potatoes and chicken.
  • Choosing the Right Chicken: Opt for bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs for optimal flavor and moistness. The bones contribute richness to the pan juices, while the skin crisps up beautifully.
  • Seasoning the Chicken: Season the chicken generously with salt, pepper, and paprika. This simple combination allows the natural flavors of the chicken to shine through.
  • Roasting the Chicken: Place the chicken on top of the roasted potatoes and garlic cloves. This allows the chicken to absorb the delicious flavors from the potatoes and garlic.
  • Resting the Chicken: After roasting, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in tender and succulent meat.

Conclusion:

This delightful recipe showcases the harmonious blend of roasted sweet potatoes, aromatic garlic, and flavorful chicken. The sweet potatoes provide a naturally sweet and earthy base, while the garlic adds depth and savory notes. The chicken, seasoned simply yet effectively, absorbs all these flavors, creating a mouthwatering main course. Whether served as a comforting family meal or an impressive dish for guests, this chicken roasted on sweet potatoes and garlic is sure to be a hit. Bon appétit!
