Ingredients
Ingredients
1,5 kg (cut into 8 pieces) Whole chicken
700 g (ball type or asterix, quartered) Small potatoes
1 unidade (raspado e suco) Limão Taiti
4 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
4 cloves (roughly chopped) Garlic
2 sprigs (chopped) Alecrim fresco
2 sprigs (chopped) Fresh thyme
1 tablespoon (or 1 teaspoon dry) Fresh oregano
1 teaspoon Sweet paprika
a gosto Sea salt
a gosto Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons (chopped, for finishing) Fresh parsley
Instructions
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Make sure the rack is in the center position to ensure even cooking of the chicken and potatoes. This step is crucial for the success of the crunch.
2
Dry the chicken pieces and potatoes well with paper towels. Removing moisture is essential so the chicken skin becomes crispy and the potatoes brown. This is one of the most important chef secrets.
3
In a large bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest and juice, rosemary, thyme, oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper. This aromatic base will be the heart of the seasoning, infusing flavor into every bite.
4
Add the chicken and potatoes to the bowl with the seasoning. Mix well, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated. A good distribution of the seasoning is fundamental for a consistent flavor.
5
Transfer the chicken and potatoes to a large baking sheet, forming a single layer. Avoid crowding the ingredients; the space between them allows them to roast instead of steaming, ensuring the desired crispness.
6
Bake in a preheated oven for 45-55 minutes, or until the chicken is golden, with crispy skin and clear juice when pierced. The potatoes should be soft on the inside and crispy on the outside, with beautiful caramelized marks. The time may vary according to your oven.
7
Remove from the oven and, before serving, sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes in the baking dish so the juices redistribute, resulting in an even juicier and tastier meat.

Chef Tips
- Preheat the oven strictly to 200°C for at least 15 minutes so that the thermal shock starts immediate browning.
- Place the chicken pieces with the skin facing up and brush the residual olive oil from the bottom of the roasting pan halfway through the time.
- Let the baking dish sit on the counter for 5 minutes before serving so that the internal juices of the chicken settle.
Variations
- Adicione dentes inteiros de alho com casca espalhados pela assadeira para que assem e formem uma pasta adocicada.
- Incorpore cebolas médias cortadas em quatro partes para caramelizarem junto à gordura natural liberada pelo frango.
- Acrescente uma colher de café de sementes de erva-doce tostadas à marinada para introduzir sutis notas anisadas ao assado.
Substitutions
- The whole chicken in pieces can be replaced with thighs and drumsticks with bone and skin, maintaining the same oven time.
- Small baby potatoes can be substituted with medium Asterix potatoes cut into regular wedges with the skin on.
- Tahiti lime can be substituted with Sicilian lemon or Bahia orange for a more aromatic and milder citrus profile.
How to Store
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a preheated oven at 180°C to restore the crispiness of the skin.
Can You Freeze It?
Congele os pedaços de frango assados desfiados ou inteiros por até 2 meses em pote vedado. As batatas assadas perdem consistência e ficam arenosas.
What to Serve With
Serve with loose white rice, green leaf salad with tomato, and crispy onion farofa in butter.
Frequently Asked Questions
How to ensure the potatoes stay soft on the inside and crispy on the outside?
Cut into standardized pieces, dry very well before coating in olive oil and avoid covering the baking sheet so as not to steam.
Posso temperar o frango na véspera e deixar na geladeira?
Sim, porém adicione o suco de limão apenas 30 minutos antes de assar para que a acidez concentrada não altere a consistência da carne.
What is the best potato variety for roasting with chicken?
Asterix or Monalisa potatoes with higher starch content and lower internal moisture provide a golden crust and velvety center.
How to know if the chicken is completely cooked on the bone?
When piercing the thickest part of the thigh with the tip of a knife, the liquid that runs out should be completely clear, with no pink traces.
