ROASTED CHICKEN WITH POTATOES AND PEPPERS


Roasted chicken. A classic in many places. At least it is in Spain. With potatoes and pepper it is wonderful. I am already salivating. To the kitchen we go!

Ingredients:

1 red pepper
1 green pepper
3 potatoes
3-4 cloves of garlic
1 chicken
Some extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon oregano
Some salt to taste
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Some lemon juice

First we will prepare the vegetables. Cut the peppers in strips and slice the potatoes. Chop half the cloves of garlic. If the chicken is not clean, clean it.
Mix some oil with the thyme, the oregano, some lemon juice, some salt and some black pepper. Brush the chicken with that oil, spices and lemon marinade and let it rest for a while.
Then take the chicken in a greased tray to the oven. This must be preheated to 375ºF. Cook it for 20 minutes.
After those minutes, add the vegetables and let it cool till the chicken is done inside and the potatoes are tender. It will be around 40 more minutes. But check it so that our dish is tender enough. It is a good idea to check if the chicken needs some liquid. We do not want our chicken to be too dry. Add some water or even more lemon juice.
And then the chicken will be ready. Something really good and easy to make. Roasted Chicken with Potatoes and Peppers. Carve and enjoy!
