Ingredient Substitution Guide

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Place the chicken into a 13-by-9-inch baking dish.

  2. Step 2

    Quarter the potatoes. Seed the bell pepper and cut it into 8 pieces. Quarter the onions through the root ends.

  3. Step 3

    Add the vegetables to the chicken and sprinkle with pepper flakes, salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Smooth out the vegetables, and make sure the chicken pieces are skin side up. Bake until the chicken is browned and the skin is crisp, about 40 minutes. Poke holes in the chicken skin so the juices flow. Stir so the vegetables are glazed. Continue baking until the vegetables are tender and the chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes longer.

  4. Step 4

    Arrange on a serving platter and spoon the juices on top. Sprinkle with parsley.

Cooking Notes

I think she meant, "one three-and-a-half pound chicken," but the spacing got messed up.

For whatever reason, the chicken was done well before the potatoes were. Next time, I'll parboil the potatoes before adding them to the baking pan.

What do you mean by 13 1/2 chicken. Rather a lot for 4-6 servings. What should the quantity be?
