Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Potatoes
- 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 200 grams potatoes, quartered
- 1 teaspoon oil
- 1 teaspoon salt (adjust as per taste)
- ½ teaspoon pepper powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
Garlic Herb Butter Mixture
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely minced
- ½ tablespoon parsley, finely minced
Additional Ingredients
- ½ cup white wine or low sodium chicken stock
- ¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven. Set the oven to 200°C (400°F) to prepare for baking the chicken and potatoes.
- Prepare the garlic herb butter mixture. In a bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, paprika, pepper, fresh rosemary, parsley, and salt. Mix well and set aside.
- Sear the chicken skin side down. Heat oil in a heavy cast iron pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, place chicken thighs skin side down and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the skin is golden brown and crispy.
- Arrange chicken and add potatoes. Flip the chicken so the skin side is up and add the quartered potatoes around the chicken in the pan.
- Coat with the garlic herb butter mixture. Pour the prepared butter and herb mixture over the chicken and potatoes, stirring gently to coat everything evenly.
- Add white wine or stock. Pour the white wine or low sodium chicken stock into the pan to add moisture and flavor during baking.
- Sprinkle Parmesan cheese. Evenly sprinkle the grated Parmesan over the chicken and potatoes.
- Bake in the oven. Transfer the cast iron pan to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes at 200°C (400°F) until the chicken is cooked through and potatoes are tender.
Notes
- You can substitute chicken thighs with chicken drumsticks if preferred.
- Ensure potatoes are cut uniformly, neither too large nor too small, for even cooking.
- Potatoes can be left unpeeled if desired to add texture and nutrients.
- Adjust salt according to taste and dietary needs.
