Crispy Rosemary Chicken and Fries


Serves 2


Prep time 15 Min


Cook time 1 Hr


Ready in 1 Hr 15 Min


This is a one pan meal that's in the oven in 15 minutes. Rosemary, garlic, and oregano create a mouth watering aroma. If using dried herbs in place of fresh, use 1/3 the amount. Potatoes are crispy like french fries, just serve with ketchup. Kids just love this!


Ingredients


4 chicken thighs


3 small red potatoes, quartered


1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, or as needed


1-1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary


3/4 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano


3/4 teaspoon garlic powder


salt and pepper to taste





Directions


Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).


Place chicken and potatoes into a large bowl. Pour olive oil over them, and stir to coat. Scatter the chicken and potato pieces in a large baking dish, or cookie sheet with sides. Sprinkle with rosemary, oregano, garlic powder, salt and pepper.


Bake for 1 hour in the preheated oven, uncovered. Baste during the last 15 minutes for extra crispness.
salt, pepper, rosemary, garlic powder sprinkle good over chicken. Then rub chicken well with oil (pref olive oil or even butter) bake at 350 about 30-40 min depending on how much chicken. I promise it will be delicious and beautifully golden brown due to the oil rub.

Add a package of dry onion soup mix to a ziploc bag. Toss the chicken legs in and shake.





Bake them in the oven....delish!
This is probably the most frequently prepared chicken dish in our house because it is (a) delicious, (b) simple, (c) gives the flavor of fried without the fat, (d) as good cold as it is hot any time of the day. This is easy enough for the kids to prepare themselves without having to rely on salty, expensive ';shake and bake'; mixes.





Chicken legs, skinned and trimmed of fat


Milk (skim or low-fat) for soaking the chicken


1/2 c. plain dry bread crumbs or cereal crumbs 1/3 c. grated Parmesan cheese


1 tbsp. dried parsley flakes, crumbled


1/4 tsp. freshly ground pepper or to taste Vegetable oil spray for the chicken, if desired





1. Place the chicken pieces in a shallow bowl or pan and cover them with the milk. Let the chicken soak for 15 minutes or longer (refrigerate, if necessary, to keep the ingredients cold).





2. In a shallow bowl or pie plate, combine the bread crumbs or cereal crumbs, cheese, parsley flakes and pepper.





3. One by one, dip the soaked chicken pieces in the breading mixture, coating the chicken on all sides. Set the coated chicken pieces on a greased baking sheet, preferably one with a non-stick surface. Lightly spray the chicken pieces with vegetable spray, if desired.





4. Bake the chicken in a preheated 375 degree oven for about 45 minutes.
