Preparation

Step 1

Instructions

If you have a whole chicken, joint it into 8 pieces

Put into a large roasting tray

Add potatoes if using. If they are very small like the ones I used no need to par boil. Otherwise if you have large potatoes cut into small cubes

Add several garlic cloves, leave skin on

Add thyme

Drizzle with plenty of olive oil

Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes at 180C, or until crispy and golden brown on top. Chicken is cooked when a skewer is inserted and juices run clear.
