Delicious Roasted Chicken and Potatoes Recipe

Ingredients

Servings:
6
  • 1 whole chicken (about 4-5 pounds)
  • 4 cups potatoes (cut into wedges)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon rosemary (dried or fresh)
  • 1 teaspoon paprika

Instructions

8 steps

  1. Preheat the oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

    This helps in achieving a crispy skin.
  2. Prepare the chicken

    Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and place it in a roasting pan.

    This allows the skin to crisp up better.
  3. Season the chicken

    Drizzle olive oil over the chicken and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, rosemary, and paprika.

    Make sure to rub the seasoning under the skin for more flavor.
  4. Prepare the potatoes

    In a bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil, salt, and pepper.

    Ensure they are evenly coated.
  5. Arrange in the pan

    Surround the chicken with the seasoned potatoes in the roasting pan.

    This allows the potatoes to soak up the chicken juices.
  6. Roast the chicken

    Place the pan in the oven and roast for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.

    Use a meat thermometer to check for 165°F (75°C) internal temperature.
  7. Let it rest

    Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving.

    This helps the juices redistribute.
  8. Serve

    Carve the chicken and serve it with the roasted potatoes.

    Garnish with fresh herbs for added flavor.
