- 3/4 pinch rosemary
- 1/2 teaspoon salt

Preparation
Step 1
Heat oven to 375* conventional or 350* convection.
Wash and pat your chicken dry.
Mix flour and spices in a shallow dish.
Coat the chicken lightly with the flour mixture, but shake off any excess.
In a 12" pan, preferably cast iron that can be put right in the oven, heat 2-3Tblsp. olive oil in the pan over medium-high heat until it is hot.
Add the chicken in a single layer and fry quickly to a light brown on all sides.
Remove to a paper towel.
Now add the potatoes and fry turning occasionally until also light brown on all sides.
Drain on a paper towel.
Pour off all the oil except 2 tablespoons (which will be left in the skillet).
Place the chicken and the potatoes back in the skillet.
Sprinkle with garlic and parsley and 1/2 cup water.
Pour the wine over all.
Bake, uncovered, at above temperature until the potatoes are fork tender and the chicken is done.
This takes about 20-25 minutes.
Remove from the oven and let stand 5 minutes before serving so any juices can be absorbed.
Serve with pan juices.
