Ingredients:
– 1 whole chicken
– 2 pounds of potatoes, cut into chunks
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh herbs (such as rosemary or thyme) for garnish
Directions:
1. Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
3. Take the garlic mixture and rub it all over the chicken.
4. Place the chicken in a large baking dish and arrange the potato chunks around it.
5. Pour any remaining garlic mixture over the potatoes, and if you like, add a bit more salt and pepper.
6. Roast everything in the oven for about an hour, or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and the potatoes are beautifully golden and crispy.
7. After removing from the oven, let the chicken rest for around 10 minutes before carving.
8. Serve this delicious dish with a fresh mixed greens salad on the side.
