Recipes

Ingredients

• 1 whole chicken (about 6.6 lb (3 kg))
• Potatoes (as needed)
• Vegetable seasoning blend (suvi začin)
• Salt and pepper
• Sweet paprika
• Rosemary and dill
• Juice of 1 lemon
• Olive oil or regular oil
• A little water for basting

Steps

1. Wash the chicken inside and out, then pat it dry thoroughly with paper towels.
2. Cut the chicken in half so it bakes more evenly.
3. In a small bowl, make a seasoning mix with oil, lemon juice, salt, vegetable seasoning, pepper, sweet paprika, rosemary, and dill.
4. Thoroughly rub the chicken with the prepared seasoning mix on all sides.
5. Peel and rinse the potatoes, then cut them into pieces of your desired size.
6. Preheat the oven to 392°F (200°C) (400°F).
7. Place a wire rack in the oven, and put a baking sheet filled with potatoes underneath it to catch the fat and juices from the chicken.
8. Place the prepared chicken on the wire rack directly above the potatoes.
9. Bake in the oven for about an hour, occasionally basting and adding a little water if needed.
10. Once the meat is nicely browned and cooked through, remove it from the oven along with the potatoes.
11. Let it cool briefly, cut into pieces, and serve warm with the roasted potatoes.
