Chicken with Oven Roasted Potatoes

Ingredients

• 1 whole chicken (about 1.5 kg)
• 1 Shallot
• 2 Garlic cloves
• 1 piece fresh ginger (about 2 cm)
• 1 red chili pepper
• 2 tbsp sesame oil
• 2 tbsp Soy sauce
• 2 tbsp Lime juice
• 1 tsp Paprika powder (sweet)
• 800 g small potatoes
• 2 tbsp olive oil (for the pan)
• Salt
• 2 limes (for garnish)

Instructions

1. 1.

   Wash and pat dry the chicken, then cut into 8 pieces. Peel and finely dice the shallot, garlic, ginger, and chili pepper after removing seeds from the chili. Combine these with sesame oil, soy sauce, lime juice, and paprika in a bowl; mix well. Add the chicken pieces and marinate for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator.

2. 2.

   Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) with both top and bottom heat.

3. 3.

   Wash the potatoes thoroughly and place them in an oiled, oven-safe dish. Drizzle with oil, season with salt, and bake for about 40 minutes.

4. 4.

   Twenty-five minutes before the end of baking, transfer the chicken pieces onto a parchment-lined tray. Turn and brush repeatedly with the remaining marinade, then finish cooking alongside the potatoes.

5. 5.

   Remove the chicken and potatoes from the oven. Brush the chicken again with leftover marinade. Plate both on dishes or bowls, arranging sliced lime wedges beside them. Serve immediately.
