Method
- Make a paste with the chopped garlic, the paprika, the olive oil, the salt, the pepper and the lemon juice.
- Rub the chicken inside and out with the paste and let it marinate for 30 minutes.
- Sit the chicken in a roasting tray on a bed of onion rounds and the bay leaves.
- Peel 880 g of potatoes and cut them into thick wedges of about 3 cm; season with salt and pepper, arrange them around the chicken in a single layer and turn them through the paste left in the bowl, so they roast in the tray juices.
- Roast at 190 °C for 70 minutes, basting the chicken and potatoes with the tray juices every 20 minutes; at 40 minutes, test a potato with the tip of a knife to check it is tender.
- For the last 10 minutes turn on the grill to crisp the chicken skin and the edges of the potatoes, then serve with the tray juices.
Shopping tip
Whole chicken is one of the cheapest proteins per kilo. Rub with a paste of garlic, paprika and olive oil for crispy skin.
