Ingredients
- 1 Whole organic chicken
- 5 White potatoes large
- 1 tbsp Salt
- 1 tbsp Black pepper
- 1 tbsp Sweet paprika
- 1 tbsp Dry thyme
- 150 ml Beer I used Heineken
- 2 cups Chicken stock
- 3 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Cut the whole chicken into 8 pieces - 4 breast pieces, 2 thighs with drumsticks and 2 wings. I reserved the backbone and neck for chicken stock. In a small bowl mix the salt, black pepper, sweet paprika and dry thyme together. Season all 8 chicken pieces and leave aside.
- Put the backbone and neck in a saucepan, add 2-3 cups of water, salt and black pepper and bring to boil for 10 mins. Set aside for later.
- In the meantime, scrub, peel and halve the potatoes, quartering any larger ones. Toss in a large roasting tray (I used Circulon non stick) and drizzle over 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil. Add salt to taste. Pour 150 ml beer and 2 cups from the chicken stock over the potatoes.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C ~ 356°F. Place the seasoned chicken pieces on the top of the potatoes, sprinkle some dry thyme and roast for 50 minutes to an hour or until the chicken and the potatoes are cooked through. Occasionally spoon some juice from the tray over the chicken. Once cooked, remove from oven and serve while hot.
- Bon Appetit!
