👨‍🍳 Instructions

1️⃣ Marinate the Chicken

In a bowl, combine olive oil, garlic, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, thyme, chili flakes, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Rub the mixture generously over the chicken, making sure every part is well coated. Cover and marinate for at least 1 hour (overnight for best results).

2️⃣ Brown the Chicken

Heat a large deep skillet over medium heat with a little olive oil. Place the chicken skin-side down and cook for 8–10 minutes until beautifully golden.

3️⃣ Slow Cook

Flip the chicken, add ½ cup water or chicken stock, cover tightly, and cook over low heat for 40–50 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.

4️⃣ Cook the Potatoes

While the chicken cooks, boil the baby potatoes until just tender. Drain and sauté them in butter, olive oil, garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper until golden and lightly crisp.

5️⃣ Finish & Serve

Arrange the roasted chicken on a serving platter with the buttery potatoes. Spoon the flavorful pan juices over the chicken and garnish with chopped parsley for a beautiful finish.
