About the dish

Kotopoulo me patates sto fourno is a traditional dish consisting of roasted chicken and oven-baked potatoes. The dish is usually made with a combination of chicken, potatoes, lemon, oregano, salt, pepper, paprika, olive oil, butter, and garlic. The potatoes are cut into wedges, drizzled with lemon juice, sprinkled with salt and oregano, and arranged in a baking dish. The chicken is cut into pieces, seasoned with salt and pepper, and sprinkled with paprika before it's placed in the baking dish with the potatoes. Everything is drizzled with olive oil and dabbed with butter, and the dish is then baked in the oven. Garlic cloves are tossed into the baking dish near the end of cooking so they don't burn, and water is added to the dish occasionally. Once the chicken is fully cooked and the potaotes have softened, kotopoulo me patates sto fourno is ready to be enjoyed. The dish is especially popular as a weekend lunch or dinner.
