Ingredients

Garlic Sauce

  • 1 head garlic
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ¼ cup cold water
  • 1 tablespoon parsley fresh, chopped

Dry rub for chicken

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon basil

Garlic sauce for potatoes

  • ½ garlic sauce from above
  • 2 tablespoon butter unsalted, melted
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil

Chicken and Potatoes

  • 1 whole chicken
  • 8 potatoes cleaned and cut into cubes or wedges
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375℉.
  • Start by making the garlic sauce. Put the garlic and salt in a mortar and pestle and crush the garlic until it becomes a paste. Add the parsley, oil and water to the garlic and mix well. Set aside.
  • Mix all ingredients together for the dry rub and rub it all over the chicken. Put the chicken in a roasting pan. If your roasting pan doesn't have a rack, you'll need to add a bit of oil to the bottom before adding the chicken to the pan. Cover with aluminum foil and roast for 2 hours, removing the aluminum foil after one hour. Check after 1.5 hours and see if chicken is properly roasted, if it is, remove from oven.
  • Half an hour into baking the chicken, you can prepare the potatoes and add them to the oven. First we need to prepare the garlic sauce for the potatoes by mixing ½ of the garlic sauce made earlier, with 2 tbsp of melted butter and 2 tbsp of olive oil. Pour over the potatoes and toss well. Season with more salt and pepper if needed. Add the potatoes to a roasting pan and cover the potatoes with aluminum foil.
  • Bake for an hour and a half, removing the foil after an hour.
  • Use the leftover garlic sauce to either pour over the chicken and potatoes or you can use it as a dip.

Notes

  1. Roasting time could vary depending on oven or weight of chicken.
