Ingredients
  

  • 8 chicken legs + thighs skin-on bone-in
  • 2 large carrots chopped into cubes
  • 3 medium potatoes chopped into cubes (use baby potatoes if you have them)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon Ground black pepper
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 3 large garlic cloves grated
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh herbs + 1 teaspoon for garnish – I used basil thyme and parsley (optionally use dried herbs)
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika

Method
 

  1. Set your oven to 350°F to warm up while you get everything ready.
  2. Wash the chicken pieces thoroughly and pat them dry with paper towels.
  3. Place the chicken, cubed potatoes, and carrots into a big food-safe zip-lock bag.
  4. Pour in all the marinade ingredients, then seal the bag tightly.
  5. Shake and massage the bag well to coat all the chicken and veggies evenly with the marinade.
  6. Move everything out of the bag onto a sheet pan or baking dish, spreading it evenly for uniform cooking.
  7. Put the pan into the oven and roast for 20 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and the skin is nicely browned.
  8. Serve hot alongside crusty bread or freshly steamed rice for a complete meal.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, garnish with the reserved fresh herbs before serving. You can swap the fresh herbs for dried if needed. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for 2 days.
