Oven-Baked Chicken with Potatoes

A comforting, flavorful dish with juicy chicken, tender potatoes, and a rich aromatic seasoning—perfect for a family meal!

Ingredients:

• 1 whole chicken, cut into halves or quarters
• Potato slices
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp ginger powder
• 1 tsp paprika
• ½ tsp turmeric
• 1 tbsp chicken seasoning
• A pinch of saffron (optional)
• Juice of 1 lemon
• Salt + black pepper
• Chili flakes (optional)
• Olive oil + small cubes of butter
• ½ cup water

Instructions:

In a bowl, mix all the spices with lemon juice and olive oil.
Coat the chicken pieces well with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (overnight is even better).
Slice the potatoes into rounds and season them using the same marinade.
Arrange the potatoes in a baking tray, then place the chicken pieces on top.
Drizzle some olive oil over the top and add small cubes of butter.
Pour ½ cup of water into the tray, cover with parchment paper, then foil.
Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C until the chicken is fully cooked.
Remove the foil and let it brown until beautifully golden.
