🛒 Ingredients
🍳 Preparation Steps
  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) using conventional heat.

  2. 2

    Take the chicken out of the fridge 20 min before. Season the inside and outside with salt and pepper. Insert 2 crushed garlic cloves and some thyme inside.

  3. 3

    Rub the chicken all over the skin with the softened butter. Add a drizzle of olive oil and sprinkle with thyme.

  4. 4

    Wash the potatoes. Cut them if necessary. Mix them with olive oil, salt, pepper, and the remaining crushed garlic cloves.

  5. 5

    Place the chicken in the center of an oven-safe dish. Arrange the potatoes around it.

  6. 6

    Bake for 1 hour and 20 minutes. Baste the chicken and potatoes regularly with the cooking juices every 20 minutes.

  7. 7

    For the last 10 minutes, increase the temperature to 210°C (410°F) to crisp up the skin.

  8. 8

    Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before carving.

  9. 9

    Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley and serve hot with the potatoes.

Tips & Tricks
  • Use a trussed chicken for more even cooking.
  • Replace potatoes with sweet potatoes or root vegetables depending on the season.
  • If the skin browns too quickly, cover with aluminum foil, removing it for the last 15 minutes.
