Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375℉.
- Start by making the garlic sauce. Put the garlic and salt in a mortar and pestle and crush the garlic until it becomes a paste. Add the parsley, oil and water to the garlic and mix well. Set aside.
- Mix all ingredients together for the dry rub and rub it all over the chicken. Put the chicken in a roasting pan. If your roasting pan doesn't have a rack, you'll need to add a bit of oil to the bottom before adding the chicken to the pan. Cover with aluminum foil and roast for 2 hours, removing the aluminum foil after one hour. Check after 1½ hours and see if chicken is properly roasted, if it is, remove from oven. The chicken is done when the internal temperature is 165℉ (74℃).
- Half an hour into baking the chicken, prepare the potatoes. Mix ½ of the garlic sauce made earlier with 2 tablespoons melted butter and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Pour over 8 cleaned and cubed potatoes, tossing well. Season with more salt and pepper if needed.
- Arrange the potatoes around the chicken on the rack in the roasting pan. If there's not enough space, you can use a separate roasting pan. Cover with aluminum foil.
- Bake for an hour and a half, removing the foil after an hour.
- Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before carving. Use the leftover garlic sauce to either pour over the chicken and potatoes or you can use it as a dip.

Notes
- Pat the chicken dry before applying the dry rub to help the skin get crispy.
- If you prefer a stronger garlic flavor, use fresh minced garlic in the dry rub.
- Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes in the dry rub to your heat preference.
- Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes after roasting to keep the meat juicy and flavorful.
- Use Yukon gold or red potatoes for roasting; they hold their shape and get nice and crispy.
- If using a separate roasting pan for the potatoes, ensure they are in a single layer for even cooking and crispiness.
- To check if the chicken is done, insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the thigh. The internal temperature should read 165℉ (74℃).
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
