Ingredients
- 4 leg quarters, whole
- 2 tablespoons yogurt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon 7 spice
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon Aleppo pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1½ tablespoons old bay seasoning (or whatever chicken seasoning you like)
- ¼ tablespoon ground cardamom
- ½ tablespoon turmeric
- 1 teaspoon sumac optional
- 2-4 large potatoes to your liking
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 6 garlic cloves
- sriracha, shatta or sambal optional
Instructions
- Add the spices, yogurt, and olive oil to the chicken and mix well.
- Make sure to rub the mixture under the skin.
- Peel and cut the potatoes into 1 inch pieces, and finely dice and chop the onion and garlic.
- Add to a deep baking pan and mix well.
- Cover with aluminum foil and bake in a preheated oven at 425 for 45-55 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165 F. Uncover to crisp up, or broil for a few minutes.
Notes
- To marinate, use a large bowl or dish and make sure the chicken is completely submerged.
- Before putting the chicken in the oven, make sure it is completely preheated.
- You can layer parchment paper before adding the chicken to your oven dish.
- If you want to make more chicken, make sure not to overcrowd the baking pan. You could use two pans and rotate them halfway through the baking time.
- Broil for a few minutes to crisp up.
