This easy & flavourful Oven Baked Chicken, Leek & Potatoes recipe is so easy to make. The leek, potatoes and chicken are slow roasted in bone broth so they’re full of flavour. The chicken is cooked until it’s tender, juicy and fall ing apart, and the chicken skin is extra crispy and delicious. This is an easy dinner to prepare, and you can let it slow roast during the day while you’re working from home. Easy peasy.

Here’s what you need.⁣

INGREDIENTS

Notes: you can add in other chopped root veggies like carrot, pumpkin or sweet potato if you prefer and feel free to use any herbs / spices you love. I personally love adobo seasoning so that’s why I have used it.

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 120C.

  2. Heat a frying pan with the schmaltz (or oil of choice) and fry the onion and garlic until golden brown.

  3. Add the chopped potatoes, fried onion and leek into an oven proof dish.

  4. Add a bit more schmaltz (or oil of choice) and fry the chicken drumsticks for a few minutes on all sides until golden brown.

  5. Place the partially cooked chicken drumsticks on top of the potatoes and onions. Sprinkle with adobo seasoning.

  6. Add the bone broth so the potatoes are fully submerged.

  7. Place into the oven and bake for 5 hours.

  8. Once it’s ready, remove from the oven. Serve with greens of your choice. Optional, serve over rice. Sprinkle with a little salt to taste if desired.

*Tip - if you want to reduce the liquid further, pour off the bone broth and reduce it in a frying pan to create a delicious bone broth jus
