Description

A traditional Lebanese dish of baked chicken and potatoes, which I learned from my mum. Unbelievably simple, but ever so delicious.

Ingredients

8 cut up chicken pieces
8 medium potatoes, peeled and quartered
salt to taste
ground white pepper to taste
4 cloves garlic, crushed
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 cup fresh lemon juice

Directions

1 Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
2 Place chicken and potatoes in a large baking dish. Season generously with salt and white pepper.
3 In a bowl, stir together garlic, olive oil, and lemon juice. Pour over chicken and potatoes. Cover dish with foil.
4 Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove foil, increase heat to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C), and cook until chicken and potatoes are golden, about 30 minutes.
