What sets this apart from other baked chicken recipes out there is the crispy garlic parmesan crust. Searing the Chicken skin and then sprinkling parmesan on top makes the skin extra crispy. The bonus in this dish is delicious buttery pan Juice, and you will have plenty of it to dip some crusty bread into it.
Let’s talk about the Butter Garlic Herb Sauce…
The butter garlic herb sauce is just delicious. Melted butter, garlic, fresh rosemary, parsley, and pepper are mixed together and added to the pan after the chicken is seared. While the Chicken is being baked, all the juice released from it gets mixed up with the butter mixture. And creates the most amazing sauce. The amount of butter is just right for the sauce not to be too greasy. However, if you prefer, use half butter and half olive oil. I like to add fresh herbs to this recipe. You can substitute fresh herbs with dried herbs.
Baked Chicken and Potatoes
Though boneless Chicken Breast is the most popular cut, cooking with Chicken thighs is always stress-free. A few minutes of overcooking will really not matter in the later cut. And bone-in Chicken Thighs mean extra juicy and flavourful meat. I have used a mix of drumsticks and thighs in this recipe. You can make this entirely with Chicken thighs or Drumsticks. Potatoes complete this dish; all you have to do is serve a fresh salad to complement the meal. Potatoes absorb all the flavor when cooked with buttery garlic pan juice. This Baked Chicken and Potato is a winner, and I am sure it will appear on your dinner menu on a rotation.
