Garlic Roasted Chicken and Potatoes

Recipe View Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). (5 minutes)

Recipe View Place the butter into a large roasting pan and melt in the preheating oven. Once melted, swirl the butter to generously coat the bottom of the pan. Arrange the chicken drumsticks and thighs, potato chunks, and unpeeled garlic cloves in a single layer. Season generously with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, then toss everything to coat evenly with the melted butter. (10 minutes)

Recipe View Roast in the preheated oven for approximately 40 minutes, basting the chicken and potatoes 2-3 times with the pan drippings to ensure even cooking and enhanced flavor. (40 minutes)

Recipe View Remove the pan from the oven and brush the chicken pieces with maple syrup. Spoon some of the pan drippings over the potatoes to glaze them as well. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Return the pan to the oven and continue roasting for another 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through, the potatoes are tender, and both are beautifully browned and caramelized. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a thigh should register at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). (20 minutes)

Recipe View To serve, gently squeeze the roasted garlic from its papery skin. The garlic should be soft and sweet. Spread this delectable garlic paste over the chicken pieces. Drizzle the pan juices generously over both the chicken and potatoes. Serve immediately.
