  • 4 large agria potatoes, cut into wedges

  • 1 garlic bulb, cut in half

  • ¼ cup olive oil

  • ½ cup white wine vinegar

  • 2 lemons

  • 3 Tbsp fresh rosemary leaves

  • 2 Tbsp fresh thyme leaves

  • ¼ cup fresh sage leaves

  • 1 tsp paprika

Method

  1. Place the chicken, potatoes, garlic, olive oil, white wine vinegar, the lemon zest and juice of one lemon, rosemary, thyme, sage and paprika in a large bowl or tray. Toss well to combine. Cover and chill in the fridge for 1 hour.

  2. Preheat your oven to 180°C fan bake. Place the chicken, potatoes and marinade in a large roasting dish. Slice the remaining lemon and arrange on top of the chicken. Season with salt and pepper. Cover tightly with foil and roast in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Remove the foil and turn the chicken and potatoes.
