One Pot Chicken

One Pot Chicken
A meal, a pan, TWO dishes in a pan!
In the logic of the One Pot, all in one, prepare this special dish with chicken drumsticks onto Gratin Potatoes and all together in the oven to bake.
The chicken goes over the chopped potatoes and during baking all juices and tasty ingredients flowing onto gratinated potatoes, create incredible flavor. So we have a double and triple tastier dish. A delicious fried chicken and beautiful honeyed, juicy and creamy Gratin potatoes.
Most of the chicken fat has been removed during frying and looks like a rotisserie chicken, seasoned with aromatic spices.
This way of cooking chicken and potato yields maximum flavor we could demand from a combination like this.
Yours!
