👨‍🍳 Method

  1. 1
    Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Mix the oil, paprika, cumin, rosemary, salt and black pepper and rub the mixture into the chicken.
    💡Dry the chicken before seasoning so the mixture clings to the skin; a longer marinade gives deeper color and flavor.
  2. 2
    Preheat the oven to 180°C (355°F).
    ⚙ Preheating the OvenOven
    💡Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.
  3. 3
    Cut the potatoes into quarters, and the peppers into strips.

  4. 4
    Toss the potatoes, peppers and garlic cloves in the rest of the mixture and arrange in the pan.

  6. 6
    Bake tightly covered with foil 45 minutes, until the chicken starts to cook.

    💡Bake covered so the chicken steams and stays juicy, then finish uncovered: only then does the skin brown and caramelize.
    💡Check by the cue (until…), not just the clock: every oven bakes a little differently.
  7. 7
    Bake uncovered 20 minutes, until the chicken browns.
