I simply love baking or roasting chicken. It is not only easy to make but taste so moist and delicious without frying…This chicken is my recent discovery and i am loving it to the core..The marination is quite basic one. And it makes it so moist and flavourful..

It seems we are both equally passionate about potatoes. And yes like you say these types of roasted potatoes are my favourite too. Simply love the infused flavour and that skin which forms when roasted- Yummy!! when I saw the picture all those non- vegetarian days came rushing back (I've stopped eating meat for the last3-4 years) but I immediately thought "well I can still do the potatoes!!". Wonderful recipes from you Aarthi. I have been checking your website on a daily basis since 2010 I think. You never disappoint!!
Can I use chicken without skin? And also I have mixed herbs not separate. Can I use that?
@Tulikayes u can make it with chicken without skin and use mixed herbs as well
Delicious! This is the taste I've been craving for years since my mom made a similar dish from a recipe she got by word of mouth from our Greek friend/neighbor. I think she used some butter as well as the olive oil, and less water. But that's dependent on the size of the chicken and the size of the pan. We also used to bake thick russet potato slices under the chicken pieces, really yummy too.
Thank you!!
Ahh..m making this tmrw..Yumm..Thanks a lot for sharing.
This is incredibly tempting! We buy skinless, boneless breasts – could I use that?
I am a kid in a candy store on your website!!
