Italian Oven-Roasted Chicken and Potatoes image

This recipe came from Flavors of Puglia by Nancy Harmon Jenkins. It is easy to make and delicious. I like to serve it with a tossed salad.

Time 1h30m

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 lbs potatoes, peeled & cut into chunks
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup minced flat leaf parsley
sea salt
fresh ground black pepper
4 -5 lbs chicken, cut in parts

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
  • Mix the potato chunks in a bowl with half the olive oil, half the parsley, and a generous amount of salt and pepper.
  • Toss to coat well, then spread over the bottom of a large roasting pan large enough to hold all the potatoes in one layer.
  • In the same bowl, mix the chicken parts with the remaining oil and parsley and more salt and pepper, again stirring to coat well.
  • Arrange the chicken over the top of the potatoes, skin side down.
  • Place in the oven and bake for 30 minutes, remove chicken pieces to a plate, stir the potatoes, and replace the chicken pieces, skin side up.
  • Return to oven for an additional 30 minutes.
  • The chicken is done when crisp and brown and the potatoes should be roasted to a fine golden color.
