Ingredients: - 1 whole chicken (about 1.5 kg) - 5 medium potatoes - 3 garlic cloves - Pepper (to taste) - 1 sachet Delikat or other soup seasoning - Salt (to taste) - 2 bay leaves - 300 ml white wine (preferably dry) - Sunflower oil (or other vegetable oil) - 1 glass of beer (about 250 ml) Recipe history: Baked chicken is a recipe that has spanned times and cultures, and is a popular choice due to its versatility. Marinating the chicken not only enhances the flavor but also helps tenderize the meat. The addition of baked potatoes is a tradition that makes this dish complete, and the beer added in the final moments of cooking gives it a unique touch of flavor. Preparing the chicken: 1. Cleaning and preparing the chicken: Start by cleaning the chicken. Be sure to remove any remaining fat and fluff. Wash it thoroughly under cold running water and dry it with a paper towel. This is an important step to crispy skin. 2. Marinade: In a large bowl, add the crushed garlic (you can use a mortar or a simple knife to crush it), pepper, Delikat, salt, bay leaves and wine. Mix the ingredients well to form a smooth marinade. Place the chicken in the marinade, making sure it is completely covered. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours. This is the perfect opportunity to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat. 3. Oven prep: Once the chicken has marinated, remove it from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 200°C. Brush the chicken with sunflower oil on all sides. This step will help to get a golden, crispy crust while baking. 4. Baking: Place the chicken in an oven tray and pour the remaining marinade over it. Cover the pan with aluminum foil for the first 30 minutes of baking to prevent the meat from drying out. Put the tray in the oven and bake for 45 minutes. Preparing the potatoes: 5. Potato prep: While the chicken is baking, peel the potatoes and cut them into quarters. They will absorb the flavors of the chicken and make a delicious side dish. 6. Adding the potatoes to the oven: After 45 minutes, remove the chicken from the oven, remove the aluminum foil, and add the sliced potatoes around the chicken. Toss them gently with the sauce in the pan to flavor. Cover the pan again with aluminum foil and bake for another 30 minutes. 7. Finishing the dish: 15 minutes before the total baking time is up, add the glass of beer to the pan. This ingredient will help tenderize the meat and give the dish an unmistakable flavor. Allow the chicken and potatoes to cook uncovered to get a crispy crust. 8. Serve: Once the chicken is nicely browned, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before carving. This resting time will allow the juices to redistribute into the meat, giving it a better texture. Serve the chicken with the potatoes on the side, drizzled with the sauce from the tray. You can add a fresh green salad or a side of sautéed vegetables to complete the meal. Serving suggestions: Baked chicken and potatoes goes great with a glass of white wine or a cold beer. You can also add yoghurt-based sauces or garlic mayonnaise for extra flavor. Variations: To customize the recipe, you can add various herbs to the marinade, such as rosemary, thyme or oregano. You can also experiment with different types of potatoes, such as sweet potatoes, for a sweet touch and textural contrast. Calories and nutritional benefits: This baked chicken with potatoes recipe provides a balanced meal rich in protein and carbohydrates. One baked chicken has about 250 calories per serving, depending on the cooking method and ingredients used. Potatoes add fiber and essential vitamins, while wine and beer add great taste, although it's best to drink in moderation. Frequently asked questions: - Can I use thawed chicken? Yes, make sure the chicken is completely thawed before marinating to allow the flavors to penetrate. - What else can I add to the marinade? You can experiment with honey, soy sauce or spices such as paprika to add a spicy touch. - How can I store leftovers? The leftover chicken can be kept in the fridge in an airtight container for 2-3 days. I encourage you to try this baked chicken with potatoes recipe and share the result with your loved ones.
