Ingredients
  

  • 8 Chicken pieces (Or as much fits in your dish)
  • 4 potatoes

Seasonings (Add to your likings)

  • salt
  • pepper
  • oregano
  • paprika

Marinade

  • 100 ml lemon juice
  • 100 ml olive oil
  • 5 garlic cloves
  • 1 onion (large)
  • 1 tablespoon rosemary (fresh)
  • 1.5 tablespoon honey
  • 1.5 tablespoon mustard (choose your favourite)

Instructions
 

  • Place your chicken (skin side up) in a lined dish. Mine is 39 cm x 31 cm. I use extra wide parchment paper as I want this to hold all the chicken and marinade without leaking out the sides and making clean up a breeze.
  • Cut up your potatoes to your desired thickness and place them inside.
  • Cover everything with your desired amount of salt, pepper, oregano and paprika.
  • Flip the chicken so skin is down and apply salt, pepper, oregano and paprika to the bottom. (Leave them this way for now)
  • To a blender add inside:
    Lemon juice
    Olive oil
    Garlic cloves
    Brown onion
    Rosemary
    Honey
    Mustard
  • Blend this all together well.
  • Pour roughly half the mixture onto the chicken (bottom side) and the potatoes. If needed spread it around to coat everything well.
  • Flip your chickens so skin side is facing upwards.
  • Pour the second half of the marinade completely covering the top of the chickens (skin side).
  • Cover with wet baking paper and alfoil.
  • Place in a pre heated oven at 175 degrees Celsius (fan forced) for 90 minutes.
  • After 90 minutes remove the covers and cook for another 30 minutes. (mine is completely done at 2 hours. If you need more colour, leave in oven until you are happy)
  • Allow to rest for 10 minutes.
  • Serve and enjoy!
