Cup of Yum
For The Chicken:
- Preheat oven to 220°C / 428°F.
- In a large pan add the chicken parts (with skin facing upwards) and the potatoes.
- Pour the mustard mixture and rub it all over the chicken and potatoes.
- Season with salt and pepper. Toss the chopped garlic here and there. Add enough water in the pan to cover by 2cm (1-inch).
- Bake for about 30 minutes or until the chicken gets a dip golden brown color, flip the chicken parts and bake for 30 minutes more. NOTE: Throughout baking make sure there is always enough water in the pan to cover all of its bottom surface so the sauce won't thicken too much and burn.
- Flip chicken parts one final time and cook for 10 minutes more.
- Remove from oven and serve with some Greek salad and Tzatziki.
