Oven roasted chicken and potatoes in broth

🐭❤️

makes for about 4 servings or 2 if you're really hungry

Ingredients:

🍗  4 chicken thighs (bone-in and skin on)

🍅 cherry tomatoes

🥔  potatoes

🧅  onion

🧄 garlic

beef/chicken/veggie broth (I recommend beef)

🌿  parsley (or dill, to taste)

🫒  vegetable oil

7 spice (allspice, cumin, coriander, black pepper, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves)

🧂  salt

black pepper

turmeric

🌿  oregano

🌶️  paprika

cardamom

Directions:

Chicken marinade: mix next ingredients in bowl to marinate. Can either cook immediately or leave for a few hours to imbibe. Chicken, oil, minced garlic, 1 tbsp 7spice, 1/2 tbsp salt, ½ tbsp black pepper, 1 tbsp turmeric, 1 tbsp oregano, 1 tbsp (non smoked!) paprika, ½ tbsp cardamom, freshly chopped parsley. When done with marinade, place chicken skin-up on bottom of cooking tray with higher borders (to hold in broth marinade). 

Broth marinade: in the same bowl the chicken was marinaded in, add in about 2 cups of broth. (If needed prepare broth beforehand and give it a bit of time to cool). Add in spices: 1 tsp turmeric, 2 tsp salt, ½ tsp 7 spice, 1 tsp black pepper, 1 tsp oregano, 1 tsp cardamom.

Veggies: on a pan separately, semi-caramelize some onions chopped into long strings then set aside. Slice up some cherry tomatoes in halves, and some potatoes into thin slices. 

Fill the empty tray space around the chicken with slices of potatoes, jam-packed vertically/diagonally. Stick in the halved cherry tomatoes (so that it's all somewhat level), and put on top the cooked or semi-cooked onions. Now pour in the broth marinade so the chicken and potatoes are mostly covered, with about 1/5th sticking out. Put on top chopped parsley (or if you prefer it fresh, add it when you're done cooking). Cover pan with tinfoil. Put in oven for 230° C/450°F for about an hour. Then carefully take off tinfoil (it will puff very hot steam!), and leave in the oven on a convection/top grill setting for 10-15 more minutes for the chicken thigh skins to roast on top and become crispy.

Can be served over a grain/side or standalone.
