Garlic Roasted Chicken and Potatoes
 

I posted this on v.3 and it seemed to be well-received...


1/3 to 1/2 stick butter or margarine
6 medium-sized chicken legs
6 medium sized red potatoes
24 garlic cloves, unpeeled
1/4 cup maple syrup

About 1 1/4 hours before serving:

1. In a large roasting pan in 400 degree f oven, melt butter or margarine. Remove pan from oven.

2. Meanwhile, cut chicken legs apart at joints. Cut potatoes into bite-sized chunks.

3. Place chicken pieces, potato chunks, and garlicc in the roasting pan; sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt. Turn ingredients to coat with the melted butter or margerine; arrange chicken pieces skin-side up.

4. Bake 40 minutes, basting the chicken and potatoes after about 20 minutes with the drippings in the pan. While this is cooking, mix maple syrup with 1/2 teaspoon of salt.

5. After 40 minutes, take the pan out of the oven and brush all the maple syrup over the chicken and potatoes; bake 20 minutes.

6. To serve, arrange the chicken, potatoes, and garlic on a large, warm platter. Let each person cut through the garlic skin and spread the soft garlic-meat onto the chicken and potatoes. This recipe will serve 6 people. The amount of chicken and potatoes you use can be adjusted by the amount of people eating, but the cooking time remains the same.

I usually serve this with fresh green beans as a vegetable.

This is absolutely the BEST chicken recipe I have ever found...

That sounds really interesting, and very easy. I think I'll give it a try. If I do, I'll let you know how it was received.

gotta try that thanks

sounds great... 24 cloves should do the tricK!

bump for rogue...

kick ass, this recipe will go great with my work out goal to gain more mass

i don't cook much but i tried this. it was really good. i used a whole separated chicken and added onions. and served with lima beans. very well received.

Going to have to try it. It looks good. Love garlic!!!!!!

I tried this last night. Worked out very well, everyone liked it a lot.

Only problem is my boss is complaining I smell like garlic today :)

This sounds really great. I think I'll try it and steal laxative's idea and throw in a bunch of onions too! :)

This sounds really good! I think I may try thigh cutlets vs. legs though since they are about the same consistency but tend to be a little more uniform in size. What the heck...I'll try both! I've always been a leg man anyway...yuck yuck yuck!! :lol:
