Ingredients
  

  • 1200 g Whole Chicken
  • 800 g Potatoes
  • 50 ml Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 50 ml Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 40 g Crushed Garlic
  • 10 g Salt
  • 5 g Black Pepper
  • 5 g Mixed Chicken Spices
  • 15 g Tomato Paste

Method
 

  1. Marinade Engineering: Mix garlic, lemon, oil, and spices. Rub the chicken thoroughly under the skin; the marinade must directly contact the meat to ensure depth of flavor.
  2. Tray Arrangement: Place potato rounds at the bottom and season them with two spoons of the garlic mixture. Ensure potatoes aren't overly stacked to allow even heat circulation to every slice.
  3. Thermal Shock: Sear the chicken pieces in a very hot pan for two minutes per side until the skin turns golden before placing them over the potatoes.
  4. The Steam Environment: Seal the tray with parchment paper followed by tight aluminum foil; the goal is to create a "Steam Environment" where potatoes cook in the chicken’s concentrated essence.
