Instructions

This recipe is extremely simple.

Place the chicken in a baking dish.

Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 210-240°C (thermostat 7-8).

Cut the butter into pieces and place it on the chicken.

Salt, pepper, and herbs the meat...

Peel the potatoes, soak them in water to rinse, and dry them.

Then cut them.

Cut the potatoes into nice shapes or squares.

Cut the potato lengthwise, then crosswise to make squares.

Place all the potatoes around the chicken in the dish and salt them.

Pour half a glass of water over everything and put in the oven.

I cook for 1 hour and 15 minutes... more or less depending on the chicken and potatoes.

Turn the chicken regularly during cooking and baste with water if necessary.

Once ready, simply serve.
