Oven Baked Chicken With Potatoes & Garlic
- 1 chicken jointed and cut into 8 pieces
- 100 gms melted butter
- fresh thyme
- sage
- 10 whole cloves of garlic
- 2 potatoes sliced
- salt and pepper to taste
- olive oil
This time, fortunately for you guys i have nothing to say, no boring stories and no gibberish … just Food !!! This is what i had for lunch, a very aromatic and tasty meal. Start with marinating the chicken in melted butter, thyme,sage, salt, pepper. Keep for a couple of hrs. When ready to bake , slice the potatoes, dizzle some olive oil and season to taste. Throw in the whole cloves of garlic and bake for abt 10 mins. Now add the chicken and toss everything and further bake for 20-25 mins turning once after 15 mins. Serve warm with some freshly baked bread. The garlic and potatoes absorb all that rich chicken n herb flavour. Also the lovely juices from the chicken and all that melted butter makes a lovely sauce for dipping the bread.
Chocolate Banana Cake With Walnut Streusel
* recipe to follow soon, i tried 2 recipes before i got this one right. This one was another experiment with my own proportions and it turned out really moist and rich and nice. I didn’t really take not of the measurements but i’ll be making this one soon and will put up the recipe then.
I wish I’d be invited to such a delicious meal! I’m drooling over everything, but that focaccia won my heart.
Holy delicious, I’m on my way over right now!
Heavenly post for a foodie, I don’t mind. Love the chicken and potato although never combined them before but I am drooling at the garlic, aloo and murghi.YUM!
I can’t wait for that Cake recipe, looks really moist!
I have more non-Indian dishes this week too but will be back with shahi next week!:)
Enjoy your weekend Kajal!:)
patricia … u are , just drop by when ever u feel like comming to Africa
E to the M … i’m waiting !!!
Asha .. sorry didn’t see that comment, u must’ve put it up while i was writing the previous one.
The garlic is unbelievably yummy . After baking it softens to a soft creamy consistency and looses its strong flavour and caramelizes into a sweet earthy one. Just squeeze them them out of the skin on to the bread and dip it in the butter and bite in … pure heaven.
Cake recipe to follow soon. Hope u have a gr8 weekend too.now i’m commin over to yours to see what cookin
YOu keep the chicken and give me the whole cake:) that looks so soft and delicious Kate!

I’ll take some of the chicken and a slice of that cake for dessert!
The chicken looks mouth watering Kajal! You’ve inspired me to make it for dinner tonite. I’m thinking of serving it with warm Bruschetta and a Salad, and of course, not to mention, some good wine!
I really love your oven baked chicken. I like cooking chicken that way too. Is easy, simple and not best of all no cleaning the stove
Can’t wait to try your recipe. By the way, do you mind if I link you?
That cake looks awesome. With chocolate and bananas, you can’t go wrong
Yum, Kajal! Your pictures are so saliva-inducing
Kate, Everything about this chicken dish looks and sounds delicious!! Love the whole garlic cloves. The sauce must have been sooo good!!
Holy moly Kate, that looks awesome! Chicken and potato are a perfect match and this dish looks delicious and hearty. And your cake looks like sweet awesomeness.
I won’t say much about the chicken, but I totally agree on the whole cloves of garlic…I love roasting a whole bulb to eat with bread & olive oil – yum! Funny, how you & I both went back to simple no non-sense comfort foods for current posts
I am dying to hear more on the bread & the cake – I want that piece in the last photo please! Looks really dark, delicious, and wholesome. Am also curious why there are scissors with that bread 
your cake looks divine!! can’t wait to see the recipe so I can try it out.

The chicken looks like the meat just wants to fall off the bone! It’s looks so tender and so do the aromatic potatoes! This would go well with some hot rice too !

Hi Kate! I love when chicken is cooked with other foods especially potatoes……..the flavors not to mention aromas must have been heavenly! Cheers!

This banana cake looks fantastic, my was almost so moist
But I didn’t put chocolate in it, I don’t know what caused its browny color …
An all-time favourte, besides garlic I put ground coriander leaves ot thyme. Still not tried sage, but should 
Oh and the chicken and ptatoes!!
Thanks for sharing!
I love the presentation of this dish. As a chicken lover I give this 5 bright stars, hehe. Thanks for visiting my kitchen and leaving a comment, now that I’ve found your blog I will be visiting often.
