- 6 medium red potatoes, cut into wedges
Seasonings and Oils:
- 3 tablespoons (45 milliliters) olive oil
- 2 tablespoons (6 grams) dried rosemary, crushed
- 1 tablespoon (3 grams) garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon (1 gram) dried oregano
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat oven to 375°F, preparing a spacious baking sheet for an even roasting experience.
- Position chicken pieces and potato wedges across the sheet, ensuring they are spread out without overcrowding for optimal crispiness.
- Generously coat both chicken and potatoes with olive oil, creating a glistening surface that will help develop a golden exterior.
- Sprinkle a fragrant blend of rosemary, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper across the ingredients, massaging the seasonings to ensure thorough coverage.
- Gently toss potato wedges to guarantee an even distribution of oil and herbs, promoting uniform browning.
- Roast in the preheated oven for approximately 1 hour, rotating potatoes midway to achieve a perfectly crisp and tender result.
- Monitor the chicken, ensuring the skin transforms into a delectable, crackling golden-brown texture while maintaining juicy meat underneath.
- Remove from oven when potatoes are tender and chicken skin has reached a satisfying crispness with an appetizing golden hue.
- Let the dish rest briefly before serving, allowing the flavors to settle and intensify.
- Plate immediately while still piping hot, presenting a rustic and aromatic meal ready to be enjoyed.
Notes
- Ensure chicken pieces are roughly the same size for even cooking and consistent crispiness.
- Pat chicken and potatoes completely dry before seasoning to achieve maximum golden-brown exterior and prevent steaming.
- Use fresh rosemary if possible for more intense flavor compared to dried herbs, finely chopping to distribute evenly.
- For gluten-free version, confirm all herbs and seasonings are certified gluten-free to accommodate dietary restrictions.
