Syrian Oven Roasted Chicken and Potatoes
Servings 4
Ingredients
- 900 gm chicken legs skin taken off and washed
- 1 bulb garlic peeled and pounded
- 1-2 tbsp lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 tsp paprika powder
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 kg potatoes washed and chopped (I cut them like wedges)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees.
- Rub the garlic, lemon juice, paprika, 2 tbsp olive oil, salt and pepper into the chicken legs. Set aside till the potatoes are partly cooked.
- Toss the potatoes with the remaining olive oil, salt and pepper. Spread onto a baking dish. Bake for 20 minutes.
- Take out the pan, keep the chicken on top and sprinkle the remaining marinade all over. Bake for 25 minutes, flip the chicken and bake for another 20 minutes or till done.
Notes
I have used a Teflon coated Marinex pan for baking. If using a normal roasting pan, do line with aluminium foil as the potatoes may stick the bottom once the baking is done.
