Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven at 400 Fahrenheit (200 Celsius).
  2. Wash the chicken with some wine if you wish and pat dry with paper towels. Rub in pepper, oregano and a bit of salt. Set aside.
  3. Cut the potatoes in wedges or half wedges. Put in a large bowl.
  4. Add about ½ cup olive oil to 2 pounds potatoes, the lemon juice, 1 tablespoon oregano, pepper and ½ teaspoon salt. Mix well so that all the potatoes are coated with the oil.
  5. Pour the potatoes in a pan, so that potatoes are all in one layer. Makes sure if you have cut them in wedges and that the tips are not pointing up as they may burn. Place the chicken in between the potatoes. Add 2-3 allspice berries, clove and the 2 garlic cloves cut in fours.
  6. Add hot water in one corner of the pan and then tilt until there is enough water so that the water comes up about ⅓ of the depth of the pan. Do not pour over the potatoes as this will rinse off the olive oil. If water starts to run low, add more hot water, about ¼ cup at a time
  7. Cover with aluminum foil and roast for 20 minutes at 400 Fahrenheit (200 Celsius) and then lower at 350-375 Fahrenheit (180 Celsius) for about 1 hour and 15 minutes until potatoes and chicken are done. Potatoes are ready when they are easily pierced. Turn off the oven and the let the chicken and potatoes sit for at least 10 minutes.

Notes

  • If you use a whole chicken that will serve about 6 people. Stuff the chicken with the lemon peel and garlic and add some cloves to the skin.
