Potato in the oven with chicken: a step by step recipe
Ingredients:
• 4 medium chicken legs;
• 6 small tubers of young potatoes;
• onion head;
• 1 bell pepper;
• 5 cloves of garlic;
• 2 small carrots;
• ground black pepper, salt - 5 grams each;
• bay leaf - 2 leaves.
For creamy gravy:
• mayonnaise - 30 mg;
• half a glass of cream of medium fat content;
• 3 cloves of garlic;
• black ground pepper - 5 grams.
As additional products, take 120 ml of vegetable oil, one 10-gram packet of ground paprika, universal seasoning, seasoning for potatoes, ground turmeric and curry. Also, for serving, you need half a bunch of fresh parsley and dill, two or three fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, radishes, a small piece of cabbage or other vegetables.
Cooking method:
1. Before starting to cook potatoes baked with chicken, put the oven in the oven for heating, then prepare all the products: rinse the young potatoes, peel, cut into medium circles. Bell pepper cut in half, cut the stem, remove the seeds, rinse, cut into middle rings. Peel the carrots, rinse, cut into thin circles. Free the onion from the husk, cut into rings, peel the garlic cloves, chop in the garlic.
2. If necessary, thaw chicken legs, rinse under running cold water, cut into several pieces with a small hatchet.
3. Mix the prepared carrots in a deep cup with potatoes, bell pepper and two chopped garlic cloves, pour a little salt, black pepper, a pinch of universal seasoning, ground paprika, turmeric and curry. If you wish, you can safely use any other spices and seasonings to your liking. Pour a small amount of vegetable oil into the vegetable mixture, and mix everything thoroughly.
4. Take a deep sheet or baking dish. The capacity must be deep so that during baking, the oil and juice released from meat and vegetables do not leak into the oven. Lubricate the leaf well with vegetable oil, put potatoes mixed with vegetables and seasonings on it, lay the onion rings on top.
5. In a separate small bowl, mix the remaining seasoning, pour in the vegetable oil, pour in a little black pepper and salt, add three cloves of garlic squeezed through the garlic, and mix well. Rub thawed chicken legs with this mixture, put them on potatoes with vegetables and onions. If you still have a spicy mixture, pour it on top of the legs. If you want the finished dish to turn out a little fatter and juicier, then you can sprinkle some more lean oil on top of the laid out ingredients.
6. Put the frying sheet with all the contents in a preheated oven, bake at a moderate temperature, about 180 degrees, about an hour. Be sure to adjust the temperature mode, because with constant strong heating, the oil and the juice released from the legs and vegetables will quickly evaporate, and as a result the dish will turn out to be dry, and besides, potatoes and onions can burn up from above.
7. While the potatoes and chicken are baked, prepare a creamy garlic sauce: squeeze the garlic cloves through the garlic press, put in a small deep bowl, add mayonnaise, pour cream, add black pepper, salt and mix well. Do not overdo it with salt, as salt is already present in mayonnaise. Be sure to buy gravy cream with a low percentage of fat or generally fat-free, since the finished dish already contains a sufficient amount of oil.
8. After one hour of baking, open the oven, check the meat and vegetables for readiness by piercing the potatoes and chicken legs with a fork. If the dish is ready - cut the chicken legs into portions with a knife and place them on plates, lay the potatoes, peppers and carrots next to them. Top the dish with the butter remaining on the sheet and the cooked creamy gravy.
9. Next, in a separate plate, put the vegetable salad. For a vegetable salad, you can take any vegetables to your taste, for example, tomatoes, cucumbers, cabbage, radish or radish: rinse, peel, crumble and season with mayonnaise. Or you can just cut the vegetables into slices and put on a plate with potatoes and legs. In a separate plate, place sliced brown bread.
