Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons paprika
  • 1 tablespoon turmeric
  • 1/2 tablespoon cumin
  • 1 tablespoon chicken bouillon
  • Black pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • Chicken thighs
  • Minced garlic
  • Peeled and sliced potatoes enough to fill the pan
  • 1-2 large tomatoes sliced
  • Optional carrots
  • 1 thinly sliced onion

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  2. In a bowl, combine olive oil, paprika, turmeric, cumin, chicken bouillon, salt, pepper, honey, and minced garlic. Mix well to create the marinade.
  3. Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and coat them evenly in the marinade.
  4. Dip the sliced potatoes into the marinade, then layer them on the bottom of a baking dish.
  5. Place the marinated chicken thighs on one side of the pan, then continue layering potatoes around and between the chicken to fill the dish.
  6. Add the sliced onions and tomatoes over the top. If using carrots, add them in as well.
  7. Pour any remaining marinade over the chicken and potatoes. Sprinkle a little extra salt and pepper over everything.
  8. Cover the baking dish with foil and poke about 5 small holes to allow steam to escape.
  9. Bake covered for 1 hour.
  10. Remove the foil and bake uncovered for another 1 hour, until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are crispy.
  11. Serve warm over rice.

Notes

• Use bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs for the best flavor
• Make sure potatoes are thinly sliced so they cook evenly
• Covering first helps everything soften, uncovering creates crispiness
• Adjust seasoning to taste
