This recipe was a lil out of my kids "comfort zone" the first time I made it, but it is so incredibly flavorful and delicious, it quickly became a family favorite. Please do not substitute breasts- the thighs are perfect for this dish!

Cooking Instructions

1

Preheat oven to °425
2

Mix all ingredients except for chicken, potatoes, and broth in a big measuring cup (or bowl) Microwave potato chunks for approximately 5-10 minutes, just enough to soften before baking.
3

Place chicken and potato chunks in large bowl, and pour oil mixture over it. Stir to thoroughly coat all, and let sit about a half an hour for flavors to be absorbed.
4

Lightly oil a large roasting pan and place chicken pieces in it, shaking off excess marinade. Then arrange potato chunks around chicken.
5

Pour broth over all, then remaining marinade.
6

Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes, stir to evenly distribute juices, then continue baking until done, about 23 more minutes.
7

Remove from oven and preheat broiler. Remove chicken to plate and wrap with foil to keep warm.
8

Place pan with potatoes in broiler for about 3-5 minutes to caramelize, but check every 2 minutes or so to avoid burning.
9

When potatoes are done to your likeness, remove from pan. Add splash of broth to pan and scrape brown bits, and deglaze for a few minutes. Serve chicken and potatoes drizzled with pan juices.

Enjoy your fabulous meal!
