What's For Dinner? Super Easy Roast Chicken and Potatoes

(Trust me it’s easy, it looks like a lot of steps but I tried to make sure I listed everything; but simplest steps ever.)

 

Fall is in the air! Time for roasts! Yum!

Normally when we roast chicken, we go straight to the Club House Roasted Garlic and Peppers. It’s sweet with a bit of a kick. Clearly, we use it a lot as the last time we purchased a bottle we invested in the big container. Sadly, we were out. (Who put this container back in the cupboard empty?!?! Oh wait, it was me…) Therefore, I attempted to mimic the taste.

 

Empty :(

 

3 medium sized potatoes, or 6 small potatoes.  (You can cook extra for leftovers!  We love leftovers!)

Two pieces of chicken (preferably bone in, and we were bad and left the skin on)

Olive Oil

Cayenne Pepper

Garlic Powder

Paprika

 

 

Pre-heat oven to 300 F. (I was trying to go slow and low)

Get out a roasting pan. Mine was about 9 x 13 and was about 3 inches deep. Make sure it’s big enough to spread your chicken pieces out, don’t cram them in.

Scrub the potatoes.

 

 

Cut up potatoes in small bite sized pieces.

Add to a large roasting pan.

 

 

Drizzle potatoes with Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

Give a LIGHT sprinkling of Cayenne Pepper.

Give a medium sized sprinkling of Garlic powder.

Give a heavy sprinkling of Paprika.

Stir potatoes to ensure even coating.

 

 

 

Make room for chicken in the pan.

 

 

 

Rinse chicken.

Rub chicken with Olive oil.

Give a LIGHT sprinkling of Cayenne Pepper.

Give a medium sized sprinkling of Garlic powder.

Give a heavy sprinkling of Paprika.

Add chicken in with potatoes in the same pan. (I love one-pan meals, less clean up!) Don’t forget your trusty meat thermometer!

 

 

Cook for about an hour, until the chicken’s juice runs clear. (Depending on the size of your chicken pieces and depending on your oven; my oven is older and the chicken took about an hour and ten minutes.)

Your chicken will be soft and moist with a bit of a kick and your potatoes will be super soft, moist and tasty. Serve with your favourite veggies or side.
